Students chosen by Mrs. Lewis will be published in an anthology available on Amazon Worldwide and Kindle Worldwide. They will also receive a free copy of the book. We are planning to have the book published before Christmas.
We hope you see this as a wonderful opportunity to encourage artistic growth and self-esteem in your students because that is our only goal.
