For our eleventh year in a row, we are hosting a “Health Heritage Essay Contest” for young people learning the importance of how their health history impacts their present and future health. Essays submissions are open to all home-school, private school grades 5th-12th, and 5th year students residing in and attending school in Genesee County.
Essays should reflect the students understanding of their family’s health history, their current health and plans for a healthy future. Students in the elementary and middle/junior high competitions will compete for the chance to win a $200 first place or $100 second place prize. Students entering the high school competition will compete for the chance to win a $400 first place or $200 second place prize. See the flyer below for more information. Good luck!
