ORA is sponsoring an essay contest for students in grades 9 - 12. This year's theme is

"My Life as a Reader"

Students may determine the specific content of the essay but should include why the significance reading has had in their lives.

Essays will be judged in two divisions: 9th - 10th grade and 11th - 12th grade.
Monetary prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third place winners.   

Winning essays will be published on the ORA website. Teachers of the winning students will receive certificates of recognition.
