Kansas PTA
Citizenship Contest
2002 - 2003
This year’s theme is: “Kansas is special to me because
…”
Kansas PTA sponsors this contest for students in
grades 5-9. There are two categories: essay and poetry.
The theme changes each year, but is designed to encourage children to
think about good citizenship. This could encompass what people
have done in the past, can do now, or what they could do in the future
to make a positive impact in their community or the world. This
theme could be incorporated into a social studies unit, while
enhancing a student’s critical thinking and writing skills at the
same time.
