Local Optimist Club to Sponsor Essay Contest For Students
The Optimist Club of Boyertown is encouraging area students to contemplate the phrase “Who is an every day hero who brings out the optimism in you?” as part of the Optimist International Essay Contest for the 2022-2023 school year.
The Optimist Club will judge the local students’ essays, based on the theme of “Who is an every day hero who brings out the optimism in you?” and determine the top winners. Winners will receive AWARDS and the winning essays will be sent to the district level where college scholarships are available for top winners. The deadline to enter the essay contest is January 15, 2023.
“Young students today have so many fresh ideas about the world and their future,” Club President Heath Brown said. “As Optimists, it is our goal to encourage them and do what we can to bring out the best in each of them. This gives them a wonderful opportunity to tap into their creativity and pursue possible scholarships at the same time.”
