Peace Essay Contest
The 25th Annual Peace Essay Contest is On!
Each year since 1987, the Modesto Peace/Life Center has sponsored the Peace Essay Contest, open to 5th-12th grade students who live or attend school in Stanislaus County. Students write an essay in response to a question, carefully crafted anew each year, and the winners in four divisions are awarded prizes in a public ceremony. The Peace Essay Contest 2012 has recently been announced. It focuses on bullying. Each division will face a variation on the question of what forms of bullying they have observed and how they responded to it.
"Every person is deserving of respect and has a responsibility to respect others."
To learn more about the contest, check out the flyers linked to below (warning: PDF!). You can also email peaceessay@juno.com. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 18, 2011.
