Each month, our Essay of the Month contest challenges
the students to write and edit their own writings based on
monthly topics. Each student is responsible for an essay,
which they pick from a variety of topics, and are
encouraged to research, draft, and complete their own
essay. One winner from each class is then picked as the
Essay of the Month Winner and goes out to lunch with the
other winners of the month!
