    Hi Ford!

    Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you have any high school or middle school contacts who would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from Virginia, but maybe you have reach far beyond there! :)

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

    Wow, thank you so much, Ford! The more the merrier!

    Hey Ford,

    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
