Anne Arundel Young Heroes Essay Contest
On November 8, 2012, at Arundel High School we conducted the awards ceremony for the 2012 Anne Arundel Young Heroes Essay Contest. The creativity and enthusiasm was impressive.
Over 1200 students, mostly 4th and 5th graders, sent in their essays to honor their young hero. With so many negative influences impacting our schools, the recognition of young heroes is a recognition by the students themselves of what makes for the best attributes in a young person.
I am proud of the success of the program and would like to give special recognition to Senator Brian Simonaire who started the program and to the teachers and school administrators who make the event possible.
