SOUTHERN LAKES ANTHOLOGY

Attention third through eighth grade parents!

Did you know that your child has the opportunity to submit their artwork or writing for possible publication in a book called the Southern Lakes Anthology?

Your child's elementary teacher, art teacher, or middle school ELA teacher has shared with them an opportunity to submit their own original artwork or writing to be evaluated by a panel of judges for possible inclusion in this year's Southern Lakes Anthology!

If you would like more information, please ask your child's elementary teacher (grades 3-5), their art teacher (grades 3-8), or their ELA or art teacher (grades 6-8). School librarians and counselors are also able to help clarify rules!

To learn more, visit https://sites.google.com/mylusd.org/wusd anthology/home. This is also where you can see an introductory video, get a copy of artwork templates, download entry forms, and see the rubric that will be used to evaluate your child's entry.

Please note that there are strict rules that the Southern Lakes Advanced Learners Network requires entries to follow, and these rules can also be found on the website. Entries that do not follow these rules will not be evaluated.

All entries will be turned into your child's school library no later than January 3, 2025. All entries will be evaluated within WUSD, and the 24 highest scoring entries from WUSD will move on to the regional level to be evaluated for possible inclusion in the 2024 Southern Lakes Anthology book, entitled with this year's theme: "The Power Of..."

All entries that score high enough will be included in the book, and all published authors and artists will be invited to a reception ceremony at UW-Whitewater in May, where they will receive a copy of their book.

Please refer to the website for more information, or ask your child's teacher if you have further questions.
