Teachers have until Jan. 31 to register their class for Junior Journal

The Daily Journal is excited to support another local Newspaper in Education Week and Junior Journal. Johnson County elementary school teachers are being asked to participate in this year’s Junior Journal. There are two ways to participate and the deadline to register is Jan. 31.

  • First is the Design-an-Ad Contest. We encourage teachers to sign up their classrooms to design an advertisement for area businesses. Participating businesses choose one ad that will be published in the Junior Journal on March 2. The rest of the ads may be displayed at the place of business. We will select three winners with cash prizes from $15-50. Students will have two weeks to complete this project after packets are delivered Feb. 1. To register your class for the ad contest contact Chelsea Moore at [email protected] or 317-736-2730.
  • Students grade six and younger can submit stories, photos and drawings on one of the following topics. Any story submissions should be 450 words or fewer and should be on one of the following topics: what students want to be when they grow up or the student’s favorite toy or game. All entries for this editorial contest should include the student’s name, school, grade and teacher. The deadline for these submissions is Feb. 6. To register for the story, photo and drawing contest contact Amy May at [email protected] or 317-736-2726.
