2013 Easter essay contest on tap
Friday March 15, 2013 | By:Metro Source Staff | News
North Tonawanda City Clerk-Treasurer Scott P. Kiedrowski announces an Easter essay contest for North Tonawanda children in kindergarten through sixth grade as part of an initiative to ensure city children have an opportunity to interface directly with their local government, as well as, just have some “good old-fashioned fun” while on Easter break.
Kiedrowski said he is inviting children in kindergarten through sixth grade in 100 words or less to tell the Easter Bunny why you are “egg” cited to live in the City of North Tonawanda.
The Easter bunny would like you to include an illustration or photograph with your writing.
Winners will receive a special prize, as well as, a certificate celebrating their accomplishment at the 6:30 p.m. April 16 common council meeting.
Superintendent of North Tonawanda Schools Mr. Gregory Woytila and Kiedrowski will present the prizes and certificates jointly.
Kiedrowski said he hopes to accomplish several goals with the contest.
“First off, we’re trying to encourage literacy and creativity here. We want kids to use their imaginations, have fun, and write great stories,” Kiedrowski said. “But we also are interested in seeing what makes NT a great city to live in”.
He added, “My goal with this essay contest is to help instill a level of comfort in our youth in contacting their local government, so that, when they become adults, they are more apt to engage their elected representative.”
Applications and instructions for the contest are available online at www.northtonawanda.org, under the “What’s New” tab.
Applications were also delivered to all of the North Tonawanda City School Districts four elementary schools.
Applications and completed essays should be mailed to:
“Easter Writing Contest” C/O
North Tonawanda City Clerk-Treasurer Scott Kiedrowski; City Hall; 216 Payne Ave., North Tonawanda, N.Y. 14120
Applications can also be dropped off at the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office at City Hall in person.
