“Imagine Peace” Essay Competition Announced

The East Providence/Seekonk Rotary Club announces a new essay competition for all middle school students who live or go to school in East Providence or Seekonk.

Students are asked to write a 400-600 word essay on the theme of “Imagine Peace.” A panel of Rotarians will review the essay submissions and select a winner from East Providence and Seekonk to each receive a cash prize of $250.

“This year’s Rotary International presidential theme is Imagine,” states Kathleen Shatraw, president of the East Providence/Seekonk Rotary Club. “We decided to take that a step further for the purposes of this essay competition to ask students to imagine peace. Students can write about anything they want that’s related to this theme. In any context, there are so many creative ways to express it.”

Essays must be submitted via email to Kathy Shatraw at Navigator@aldersbridge.org  by 5:00 pm on April 28th. Winners and two family members will be invited to attend a luncheon at 12:15 pm on May 8th at East Providence City Hall to have the opportunity to recite their essay aloud (optional) and receive their award.
