Your kid's voice belongs in the conversation.
250 years of extraordinary history and a new generation is ready to write the next chapter. Enter the America 250 Letter to the Editor Contest and give your child a voice in America's biggest birthday.
Write a letter. Win for your community.
Kids write an editorial for their local newspaper about America's 250th anniversary and weave in what they've learned from the Tuttle Twins. The best entries get recognized. The winners give back.
One family will win an unforgettable trip to Charleston, South Carolina, a city rich with the stories, landmarks, and lessons that shaped America. It’s more than a vacation; it’s a chance to bring history off the page and create a Dinner Table Moment your family will never forget.
250 randomly drawn winners will each receive America’s History Volume 3 to donate to the library, school, homeschool co-op, or nonprofit of their choice, giving more families and students the chance to learn America’s story in a way that’s memorable, meaningful, and fun.
