Recruit Schools for 2024-25 Laws of Life Contest

Did you know that January is the time when schools plan for the next academic year? If you want to partner with your local high school to introduce or renew the Laws of Life Essay Contest for the 2024-25 Rotary year, January would be a great time to contact the school leadership. Together local Rotary Clubs and the Georgia Laws of Life state office offer this character education program, free of charge, to high schools throughout the state.

High schools from Rome to Bainbridge make the Laws of Life contest an integral part of their English Language Arts curriculum. Students love the contest as it offers them an opportunity to reflect and tell a personal story. Students share heartfelt stories of joy and of challenges. Teachers love the contest because they get to know their students on a deeper level. The contest also provides healthy competition among students.

The Laws of Life contest offers your club an inspiring, turnkey program with flexible volunteer hours opportunities. The contest allows clubs to support key Rotary causes including Support For Education and Promoting Peace by fostering conversations among students and teachers. Many Rotarians across Georgia share that their favorite meeting is when they celebrate student winners from their partner schools. Students feel a boost of confidence when they read their Laws of Life essays for a friendly audience of club members, teachers and parents.

The GLL state office can provide your Rotary club with prospect letter templates, contest talking points, and info flyers to share with potential partner schools. On our GLL YouTube Channel, look for the Teacher Experiences [link below] playlist for teacher testimonials.

For complete program info, contact the Georgia Laws of Life team at lawsoflife@georgialawsoflife.org.
