The National Management Association (NMA) would like to invite three (3) students from the 7th or 8th grade in your school or home school program to participate in our essay writing
contest. The contest’s purpose is to help the students to build their skills in communication. They will be competing with other schools from across our southeast regional area represented
by the Peach Council of NMA.  The topic of the Essay Contest is: “What are the traits or characteristics of a good student leader in high school?”

Each contestant is required to research, compose, and submit their own essay with proper adult consent and school program approval by April 3, 2023 to our contest director. The top three
students in our southeast region will receive awards of $75, $50, and $25 respectively. If any of your students win one of the of top 3 prizes, we can present that prize at your award day
ceremonies, if desired. All other contestants will receive a certificate of participation.
