EVERYDAY HEROES:  THE POWER OF ONE 

East Cobb County Council (ECCC) of PTAs  

2021 Honoring Our Heroes Contest 


Who knows an unsung hero that we should celebrate during these unprecedented times?

Want a chance to win an award for recognizing this hero?


Honoring Our Heroes is a student writing contest designed for you to write about your real-life heroes and role models.  The person you write 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 you 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 your life such as a family member, doctor, public safety officer, soldier, or teacher. 

 

Entries are due to the Mabry PTSA Committee Chair by February 8, 2021.  A box will be placed in the school office to drop off all entries.  For additional questions, please contact this year’s Committee Chair, Kathy Tira, at givank@yahoo.com. All entries must include a signed student entry form.

2019-2020 Honoring Our Heroes Contest

Want a chance to win an award for recognizing your favorite hero?

Honoring Our Heroes is a student writing contest designed for you to write about your real-life heroes and role models. The person you write 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 you to redefine media-hyped and cartoon heroes such as professional athletes, movie stars, and rock musicians (unless they have made an impact on your life through their dedication, pre-service or other characteristics and NOT because of their fame), and instead recognize someone who has made a more personal impact on your life such as a family member, doctor, public safety officer, soldier or teacher.
 
The ECCC will host a special reception for all winners in each grade (one winner per grade) for each school that participates on March 25, 2020 from 6:30pm – 8:00pm at our very own Mabry Middle School.
 
Entries are due to the Mabry PTSA Committee Chair by Monday, February 3, 2020. A box will be placed in the school office to drop off all entries. For additional information, please contact this year’s Committee Chair at mabryheroes@mabrymiddleptsa.org
 
All entries must include a signed student entry form. A flyer will be sent home within the next couple of weeks including a copy of the student form for your convenience.
