Mary’s “Give Back to Maryland” Grant

mary Amato in MDI love the state of Maryland.

Every October, I choose one school in Maryland (as long as it is 31 miles or less from the intersection of Colesville Road and University Boulevard, Silver Spring, MD) to receive a free author visit (one or two assemblies) to be scheduled on a mutually-agreeable date/time during the December, January, or February.

Who can enter? Teachers, librarians, administrators, parents, and/or students (with a parent and using a parent’s email address).

When to enter: You may enter only in September or October.

To enter, send me an email with the following three items:

1. Your school name

2. Your school’s complete address, including zip code

3. Your name, phone number, email address, and how you are connected with the school.

On October 31, I will put all the entries into my hat and draw a winner.

Please note that the previous year’s winner has to wait three years to enter again. The 2011-2012 winner: Westover Elementary School in Silver Spring, MD.
