Now that the school year is over and summer fun has begun, it's a nice time to reflect on teachers that have made a difference in our lives and our children's.
A story I wrote about one of Luke's special teachers was chosen by Real Simple magazine, and later featured on The Today Show last fall: http://video.aol.com/video-detail/a-mom-give-thanks-to-her-sons-teacher/3395519929.
Please send me your stories (limit 500 words) by July 1. A group of Virginia writers and my friends will judge them based on the story itself and how it is presented. Judges will look for creativity, originality, clarity, expressiveness and sentiment. The winning author and subject will each receive Angela Moore Autism Awareness necklaces by Angela Moore ($95 each, www.angelamoore.com). 15% of the proceeds from this collection benefit treatment scholarships at The RIMLAND Center in Lynchburg, Virginia (www.rimlandcenter.com). Additionally, the winning teacher will receive this beautiful photo of Assateague by Dan Smith ($350, editrdan@msn.com). Email your entries to lukesmom1216@yahoo.com with subject line "Special Teachers". Email should include essay and full names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses for both writer and special teacher.
