May 2011 - Issue 1
First press run after 70 years of downtime.
Keeping in line with the nostalgic point of the St. Nicholas League, this blog will simply be a brief means, a telegram of sorts, to let you know that we are in print again and that you/your child can receive issues once a month by post.
Cost is $5. Sections of the newspaper currently are the Young Contributor's Section, The Aldo Leopold Club, Bloomsbury Bookends, Blue Stockings Art Salon, the Nostalgia section, Little Folk's Section with puzzles and jokes, and various editorial features; and the length is coming in around 8 pages, color, for now. Submissions are open to 5-18 year olds for artwork, photography, poetry, fiction, essays/articles, jokes, and recipes. As children publish and/or complete tasks assigned in the St. Nicholas League newspaper they can earn varying memberships with recognition in print, and eventually pins for the above sections they participate in.
Perhaps among them is an E.B. White, a Virginia Woolf, an Aldo Leopold, a Mary Cassatt in the making, and this their chance to realize it.
Write to St. Nicholas League at st.nicholasleague@gmail.com for questions or subscriptions.
“If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
...and what books he read and what mountains he climbed as a child to take him to those heights.
With regards & A posse ad esse,
