Opening November 1: Letters About Literature Contest

Wyoming students in grades 4-12 are invited to read, be inspired, and write back to the author (living or dead) of a book that changed their lives. The 2021 Wyoming Letters About Literature reading and writing contest will open November 1, 2020. Postmark deadline is January 9, 2021.
