We are thrilled to announce that three LOA students have received Honorable Mentions for the Laws of Life Essay Contest. Congratulations to the following students: Jessica White (9th grade), Riley Carr (10th grade), and Sydney Pattison (12th grade).
Thanks to the Rotary Club of Greene & Putnam County for their sponsorship of the program at our school. For the 2023-2024 contest, a total of 33,686 students wrote essays, and 60 Rotary clubs participated in Georgia.
Rotary clubs across Georgia conduct the Laws of Life Essay Contest through the nonprofit Georgia Rotary Districts Character Education Program, Inc. Rotary Club members volunteer to read and judge essays, serve on the contest’s Board of Directors, and volunteer their professional expertise to help build character and ethical literacy among students. “The essay contest is an opportunity for Rotary clubs to share their Service Above Self motto with local students and schools,” said Carol Gray Walker, Executive Director for Georgia Laws of Life.
The Georgia Laws of Life Essay Contest is made possible through the support of a grant from the John Templeton Foundation. Additional support comes from Rotary Clubs, corporations, and individual donors throughout Georgia.
