Haiku
Contest time came back this year. This Contest is sponsored by the
Minneapolis-Ibaraki Sister City Association (MISCA) and the Minneapolis Public
Schools.
Entries are divided into four categories: K-5, 6-8, 9-12 and Adult.
Last year Southwest High School did a fantastic job again, placing with eight
winners out of eight. Three parents won the prize for the adult category.
The
entries will be judged by the Board of Directors of MISCA, and the top 30
entries in each category will be sent to Ibaraki, Japan for final judging.
Final results will be available in March, with an award ceremony to be held in
April.
This
year’s theme is “Shizuka” which translates in English to "quiet". If
you put your entry or your students’ entry forms in my mailbox by 4:00 pm
Friday, December 12th, I will send the forms to the
committee. Please encourage your students to participate in this
contest.
Thank you
for your consideration.
