TEACHERS/SPONSORS

• First and Foremost,  thank you for your efforts for peace.  We know that the extra time and energy necessary to sponsor entrants is  limited and precious.
  Here is a What About Peace ? flyer for you to download and distribute.

• Please feel free to contact us if we can help you or your young people.

• We encourage you to use What About Peace ? as a final project, as an assignment, for extra credit.    If your group so chooses, it can become a fund-raiser.   Individual youth can gain independence of mind and spirit as they reply to What About Peace ?

• When one of those you sponsor wins, we ask you to present the award in our name.  We hope you will make a public celebration of peace and her/his accomplishment.  We will send you, in the mail, the award, the certificate and the prize. 

• In 2008 we had to withdraw two prizes because of copying.  Please be sure that each entry submitted is 100% the work of the young person, or that sources are credited and a copy of the source material is sent with the entry.  Tracing, using an overhead projector, copying, or “improving” a painting is not permitted. 

If you want to discuss plagiarism and forgery with students or youth group members, you may find some help at  http://www.nytimes.com/learning/teachers/lessons/20030904thursday.html  This New York Times article references the OWL Center at Indiana University.

• We hope you’ll like having a “little something” for each participant.  DOWNLOAD STICKERS for your entrants here.  Print them out on Avery  8163 (2” x 4”) and present one to each youth you sponsor.
