The Optimist Club of Calvert Prince Frederick is encouraging Calvert County students to contemplate the phrase “Reaching Your Dreams by Choosing Optimism” as part of the Optimist International Essay Contest for the 2020/21 school year. In addition to developing skills for written expression, participants also have the opportunity to win a college scholarship.
The Optimist Club will judge the local students’ essays, based on the theme of “Reaching Your Dreams by Choosing Optimism.” Six winners will be chosen and each will receive a certificate, a medallion and a cash award. One overall winner’s essay will advance to the district level competition where students will be competing for a $2,500 college scholarship. The entry deadline is February 5, 2021.
