Lt. Gov. David Wasinger announced Jan. 12 he is launching a student contest for them to submit letters to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary and inspire patriotism in Missouri’s youth.
Students K-12 are eligible to compete in the contest.
Contest guidelines state that students will have to choose between one of two prompts: “I am proud to be an American because, “ or “I love America because...”
There is a minimum word count by grade level — K-3 is 50 words, 4-6 is 100 words and and 7-12 is 200 words. Winners of the contest will receive the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for American Patriotism.
All letters must be postmarked no later than March 1 and award recipients will be invited to attend a recognition ceremony on June 26 at the Capitol, where they will have the opportunity to read their letters.
