With the Peach State PETS experience under their belts,
Rotary Club President-Elects are mapping out their 2024-25 year. Now is the
time to confirm high school partners for the 2024-25 Georgia Laws of Life Essay
Contest. 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 Hartwell to Columbus 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 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 as they read their Laws of Life essays for a friendly audience of club
members, teachers and parents.
The GLL state office provides resources for your Rotary club
in an online
folder: prospect letter templates, contest talking points, and info
flyers for clubs and schools. On our GLL YouTube Channel, look for 2022-23 Student
Winners and the Teacher Experiences playlists to hear
firsthand testimonials.
