When I was in 5th grade (I'm going into 10th this year) my teacher gave us an assignment. It was a national thing (US only) for 5th graders and it was a poetry contest. We wrote poems and the 2 best out of the 5th grade were entered into the national poetry contest thing and they were put into a book. The book was a collection of the 2 best poems from all the participating schools in the US. Mine was chosen as one of the 2 best in my class and was submitted into the book. However, I cannot find the book anywhere! We were told the school was going to receive a copy of the poetry book but we never got one therefore I don't know what the book is called or what it looks like. Is there any 5th grade teachers here that gave the same assignment back in '01/'02? Any parents here with kids who entered the contest? ANY information on the book would be soooo greatly appreciated. Thanks so much to everyone.

I said Americans only because the contest was only in America.

I've asked everyone! Nobody knows! By the way, my 5 grade teacher moved away a few years ago so I don't have her number or address or anything like that.

Have you checked with your local library? I wish I could give you a better answer.

You can call the school and contact your teacher from 5th grade, that would probably be your best bet.
If she's no longer there, I'm sure the principal or someone in the staff can find out for you. It wasn't that long ago and I'm sure someone will know something.
