A new month and a new term have begun, and we expect this to be a particularly exciting time for the William Stafford Project. I just finished sending out an email to our giant contact list of teachers, librarians, and administrators from all over the state (close to 800 of them!), reminding them about the contest and its upcoming deadline (we’ll accept submissions through the end of April). I can’t wait to see all the great work that Oregon’s students have in store for us!

If you haven’t already, check out the contest details on the William Stafford page, where you can print out lesson plans, download our contest flyer, or subscribe to our mailing list. And, of course, send in your submissions to:

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating this month of poetry as well as the talent of our young Oregon writers!
