LITERACY CONTEST 2024: HELPING OTHERS MAKES YOU A SUPERHERO!
Teachers, are you looking for a fun, creative way to encourage literacy with your students? Look no further - our annual literacy contest is your solution! This year’s theme provides students an opportunity to describe how helping others in their communities or schools has made them a better person or SUPERHERO! Students' entries can be focused on such things as (but not limited to): how volunteering makes a difference; being a productive piece of your community; how being positive uplifts others; my ‘super’ character trait is; how helping others helps yourself; accepting and respecting others; building classroom community; being kind and compassionate; self-growth through altruism; activities you have done to help your community; etc. Please consider joining in on the fun! Full details can be found here. All submissions must be entered using this form and uploaded electronically by March 15, 2024. Good luck!
