March is National Reading Month, and we’re launching a Read & Write Book Review Contest for students in grades 4-8 from local Queens schools!

We’re challenging young readers to pick a book from the selected list, dive in, and write a compelling review. The top 10 reviews will be submitted to The Week Junior magazine for a chance to be published!

To motivate, encourage and reward young readers, we are raising funds for an exciting grand prize:
✨ $250 cash prize for the top review
✨ A one-year subscription to The Week Junior (worth $200)

We’re inviting local businesses to support this incredible opportunity for young readers. Your donation will directly fund the grand prize.

As a thank-you, we will feature your business logo on our contest flyer, recognizing you as a proud supporter of young Queens writers!

🎯 Our Goal: $450
