Grade School Social Security Essay Contest
---
Just a quick pass-along:
Essay Contest for American Students (Grades 4 – 12)
Make Your Voice Heard in the Social Security Debate!
Essay Topic / Questions: President Bush and Congress are debating reforming the Social Security system. Social Security's future will have a dramatic effect on you and your family. We believe it is important that the voices of America's students are heard. Today’s students are America's future taxpayers – a generation that will suffer if nothing is done to fix the Social Security system.
This contest will give you a chance to make your voice heard in this important debate!
Essays should be between 250 - 750 words. Please address some of these questions:
There will be two divisions in our contest: the Senior Division will be for students in Grade 9 through 12, and the Junior Division for Grades 4 through 8.
Here's the application (PDF - 2 pages).
