2008 Essay Contest

Winners will be announced by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14. Due to an overwhelming number of entries, more time is needed to review the essays. We apologize for the delay.

Everyone knows about the superheroes on the big screen, but what about the everyday heroes around us? Heroes who have made healthy lifestyle choices - like being smoke-free. Maybe they have always been smoke-free, and encourage others to quit. Or maybe they recently decided to kick the habit. In this essay contest, your class can share their stories with us and win some really cool prizes.
