Capstone
Press Sponsors Geography Contest
Publisher Asks Students, "Where in the World is FactHound?"
Capstone Press is sponsoring a geography contest this school
year that takes students on a fictional trip around the world
to find FactHound, the mascot of the publisher’s Web portal.
As FactHound travels to famous sights and landmarks, the dog leaves
behind a postcard and three clues as to his whereabouts.
A new postcard of FactHount at a mystery location will be posted
at http://www.capstonepress.com
at the beginning of each month, starting September 1, 2004 through
March 1, 2005. Educators can help students in grades K-8 register
for the contest on the Web site and guide their research using
the photograph and clues provided. Students who correctly guess
FactHound’s location are automatically entered into a drawing
to win for their school the new 28-book countries set Questions
and Answers: Countries valued at more than $630.
For a free contest kit, educators should contact customer service
toll free at 800-747-4992 or via email at customer.service@capstone-press.com.
