    Hi Una!

    Happy New Year! I was wondering if your teachers and students would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from NY!

    You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

    Hahah. Yes, that is me. To try and compensate for my bad acting, I really did eat a mouthful of that stuff, but to be honest, it wasn't that bad!

    Hey Una,

    Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!

    That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.

    Do you mind passing my message along to students and your colleagues again?

    Thanks,
    Jack
