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.
