KASA encourages students to submit essays about an inspirational teacher, administrator or other adult role model in their school. Contest winners are invited to read their essay at KASA’s upcoming conference, July 18-20, 2007. Accommodations at the Galt House Hotel and Suites will be provided to contest winners and the adult who inspired their essays.
The contest is designed to complement writing portfolios—giving students an authentic audience and purpose for writing.
The goal of the contest is to recognize student excellence and to honor some of Kentucky’s outstanding educators.
Message to Students:
As you work toward the goals you have set at school and in life, who has inspired you to go beyond the ordinary to achieve at higher levels? Who has motivated you to overcome barriers and meet the challenges you face each day? Who has been passionately committed to your educational growth and development? Who has encouraged you to be somebody special?
Through the format of your choice, please WRITE about this special SCHOOL person in your life. The individual may be a teacher, a support staff person (e.g., instructional assistant, bus driver, etc.), or a principal. The person you choose to write about must be an adult who has worked with you at your current school or a previous school you attended.
In your writing, please identify the relationship you share with this special school person and how he or she has helped you be successful. (Note: Contest guidelines are listed on page two.)
Please submit your contest entry to your teacher or principal. Do not mail it to the KASA office.
