ATTENTION Civic Teachers for Students 7th thru 12th Grades

The Fleet Reserve Association sponsors an annual essay contest to promote the spirit of Americanism and patriotism among our country’s youth. FRA’s Americanism Essay Contest is open to all students, grades 7 through 12, including those who are home schooled.  Students are invited to submit an essay of up to 350 words through an FRA member or local FRA branch (which is listed on the attached cover sheet) before the December 1st deadline.  Local winners are forwarded for competition at the regional level and regional winners compete for national prizes.

The grand national winner receives $1,500.  Other winners receive $1,000 for first place, $750 for second place, and $500 for third place.  Each national winner will receive an attractive plaque citing his/her achievement, and every entrant judged at the national level receives a certificate of recognition. Prizes may be awarded to students winning at local and regional levels of competition.

This year’s theme is “What would Service to Our Country mean to me”  Attached are an Essay Contest Poster, Essay Rules and the Essay Cover Sheet.  Essays must have a completed cover sheet with good email, physical address and phone number so that we can contact winners.
