EVERYDAY HEROES: THE POWER OF ONE 
We are excited to be kicking of the 2018-2019 Honoring Our Heroes Essay program!
Honoring Our Heroes is a writing program that encourages students to discover, honor, and write about real-life heroes - role models displaying generosity, trust, persistence, dedication, leadership, creativity, caring, bravery, imagination, service, gentleness, courage or compassion. Students are asked to redefine media-hyped and cartoon heroes such as professional athletes, movie stars, and rock musicians and instead recognize someone who has made a more personal impact on the student's life such as a family member, doctor, public safety officer, soldier, or teacher. What a great opportunity to honor someone who may not even know what a difference they are making in your student's life!
The student entry form can be found by clicking
HERE. Entries are due by
January 15, 2019.
