2024-25 PTO Information

Dear Community Partners,

Rhode Island KIDS COUNT is seeking submissions of poetry from our local children, youth, and parents in our communities to share their talent for creative expression to be included in the 2025 Rhode Island Kids Count Factbook and possible future editions going forward.

We will select six poems to be featured in our upcoming Factbook. Poetry can be in English or other languages and should be 100 words or less. Topics for poems may include Rhode Island, community, children, family, school, education, equity, youth voice, poverty, healthy foods, housing, health, safety, juvenile justice, foster care, parents, and caregivers.

Please submit one poem per person only. Selected poets will receive a $100 honorarium and will be acknowledged in the Factbook upon completion of a Poem Selection Release Form. Please send poetry submissions with poet’s name, age or grade, and your local town or school name by January 3, 2025 to Ms. Galarza at wgalarza@rikidscount.org.

Seeing local poetry published in our Factbook is exciting for all writers of any age and I am looking forward to hearing from you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on 401-351-9400 x 212.

Thank you,

Paige
