If you haven't, please email Nancy Sandlin (Dear Writing Team Coaches,It’s the start of a new school year and time again for that perennial question: “What did you do over the summer?” For Power of the Pen, this summer has been abuzz with the efforts of many focused and dedicated people who have prepared for the return of Power of the Pen in a new season of incredible student writing!
The restructuring we have implemented lays a solid foundation for our relaunch. It includes: » A new governing body whose members possess a combined experience of over 300 years with Power of the Pen. » A more streamlined structure with online registration. » A regional director for each of the eight Ohio regions who will provide increased support for coaches, easier access to resources and timely and responsive communication. » A new scoring program that performs with speed and accuracy no matter how many simulated wrenches we have thrown into it. » As always, we have three levels of student competition — District, Regional, and State. » The opportunity to take part in workshops for both students and teachers, who can earn professional contact hours through colleges and universities statewide. POP has provided quality writing programs and competitions for more than three decades. We’re proud to have worked with nearly 500 school districts in all 88 counties in Ohio and we look forward to continuing our tradition of excellence during the 2018-2019 season. Accept no imitations – there is only one Power of the Pen! With best regards and looking forward to seeing each of you in 2018-2019!
