Happy Halloween from Kids Ink NW
Kids Ink NW is excited to bring you our October issue full of pumpkins,
creepy crawlies and mysterious beasts said to roam our fair region.
The tales within these pages come from the minds and pens of little goblins
from all over SWWashington. Stretching from Ridgefield to Washougal
and all parts in between, we have received submissions from families, writ-
ing contests as well as the growing list of public and private schools we have
partnered with.
We continue to be amazed, both with the feedback the magazine has re-
ceived as well as the incredible submissions that area children have sent
us. The artwork, photography and stories are so much fun to work into the
magazine.
Perhaps what is most amazing, is that Kids Ink NW is doing exactly what we
had hoped it would - creating a charge of excitement in children to see pen
and paper as tools for expression and fun, not torture devices wielded by
teachers and parents.
Thank you to those businesses that support Kids Ink NW and especially to
the young writers, photographers and artists that truly make the magazine
the special publication that it is.
We wish you all a safe Halloween and a bountiful harvest!
Seth Sjostrom and Kathi Hansen
