[December 02, 2020]
Every year, Rotary District 6490 sponsors an essay contest. The
first prize is $500, and the second prize is $250. Literacy and
Education are core values of Rotary and central to our global
mission.
High School Students are invited to participate.
The contest is now open.
The deadline date for submissions is January 31, 2021.
This will allow students ample time to prepare their essays, under
the challenging conditions of the pandemic.
Rules for the essay contest are available on the Rotary District
6490 website:

During this challenging time, Rotary International, District 6490
expresses gratitude for the devotion and professionalism of school
administrators, faculty, and support staff for keeping our students
safe and engaged.
