Honoring Our Heroes - The Power of One

EVERYDAY HEROES: THE POWER OF ONE


One child…
One hero…
One moment in time…
One lasting impression!


We are excited to be kicking off the 2015-16 Honoring Our Heroes Essay Contest on Wednesday, November 11, 2015. Honoring Our Heroes is a student writing program designed for students to write about their real-life heroes and role models.

The person the student writes about should display one or more of the following characteristics: generosity, trust persistence, dedication, leadership, creativity, caring bravery, imagination, service, gentleness, courage or compassion.

We want our students 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 their lives 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 on the by clicking here.
Entries are due by Friday, January 22, 2016.
