ABIS Book Week is fast approaching, and I’m happy to announce that this year, in conjunction with Book Week, we are launching a great writing contest for students in Grades 3-5 and 6-10. The Harris Burdick Short Story Competititon kicked off today with students in Grades 3-5, and will kick off next week in the secondary school.

The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg is a remarkable book which has been used in schools all over the world to inspire young people to write. To learn more about the book, and to learn everything you need to know about the contest, head to www.abiswrites.weebly.com.
