Librarians and Teachers,

     Thank you for considering this National Schools Project. Each year, schools across the nation are invited to participate in this project.

     The National Schools Project is committed to working with teachers and librarians throughout the United States. Each participating school receives a free copy of the book and has the possibility of winning a $100 or $50 award for the most student poems accepted. Your school may be one of the schools receiving awards for the most accepted submissions.

     Here is a list of the 2007 Winners.

Student Security and Privacy Issues

         Student security and privacy are our greatest concerns and ones that we have successfully addressed over the twelve years of the project. Student information is not disclosed to any outside party nor is the student's name published with any information that may connect him/her to their school, address or locality. Individual student information is not retained, but is destroyed upon publication of the book
