11th ANNUAL RICHARD KEMPER ESSAY CONTEST EXPANDS
This year, the Richard Kemper Foundation for Promoting Human Rights Education is sponsoring two essay contests: one that is open to all high school students, including students at Mamaroneck High School and one that is open only to MHS students. The winners of both contests will receive a $250 prize and be invited to read their essays at a Memorial Day Ceremony in Richard M. Kemper Memorial Park on May 25. The following topic is open only to MHS students:
What makes Americans patriotic? In your answer, please address specific freedoms, laws, documents or events that you feel make the American people connected to their country.
The next topic is open to all high school students, including students from MHS:
What is a major human rights issue faced by any nation or group of people today and how do you think it can be resolved?
An additional prize of $100 will also be awarded for the best poster advertising this year’s essay contest. Please join us at Mamaroneck High School on May 25th at 3:00 p.m. to hear the winning essays read and to see the winning poster.
