Writings from Briarcliff online

The Briarcliff Manor School District is inviting its community at large to participate in the National Day of Writing and for authors to post their words, elegant or not, online.
“In conjunction with the National Day on Writing sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English, we have created a website that seeks to celebrate the importance of writing in the lives of the Briarcliff community and hope that you will be interested in contributing something that you have written,” the district writes on its home page. Submissions will be screened by the district’s English department.
The district and the NCTE urged everyone from students and parents, to school staff and grandparents, to write something and share it online. The length must not exceed 2,500 words and the piece could be an essay, a letter or a brief memoir.
The website will be up for viewing from Oct. 20, the National Day on Writing, through June 1, 2010. The deadline for submitting your writing is Nov. 6, 2009 — so there is still time.
I clicked on New York under submissions and found there were 570 pieces filed and some already from Briarcliff. Keep writing…. and reading!
