Be Big In Your Community: Scholastic & Clifford

Clifford is a pretty big dog and he is encouraging children to BE BIG, too! Clifford's Big Ideas include Share, Play Fair, Have Respect, Work Together, Be Responsible, Be Truthful, Be Kind, Believe in Yourself, Be a Good Friend and Help Others. These are great values to instill in our little ones that help them develop into independent, amazing children. Today, at the start of National Volunteer Week, Scholastic Media has announced the next step in its Clifford BE BIG initiative..."The Be Big in Your Community" contest! What a great way to encourage our little ones to extend those values into the community.

Scholastic Inc. has launched “The Be Big in Your Community Contest” in support of CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG® and the BE BIG™ initiative. The contest calls upon kids, parents, teachers, and community leaders to submit their BIG ideas for creating positive change in their communities by demonstrating Clifford’s Big Ideas; Share, Play Fair, Have Respect, Work Together, Be Responsible, Be A Good Friend, Help Others, Be Truthful, Be Kind and Believe In Yourself. The BE BIG Fund will help bring the winning BIG idea to life by awarding one (1) Grand Prize $25,000 community grant and ten (10) runner-up $2,500 community grants to implement the winning BIG ideas via HandsOn Network local affiliate organizations. Submit your idea at Clifford's BE BIG site. And remember....IT ONLY TAKES A LITTLE TO BE BIG!
