Americanism Essays

Students in grades 5 through 8 can compete in the Americanism Essay contest.  Each year the Elks Grand Lodge determines the subject.   The applicants can then submit an essay, up to 300 words in length, that addresses the subject.  The top prize for the 2022-2023 school year was $1,000.  Applications are available in the fall and are due the middle of December.

If you are interested in this event, please send an email to stcloudelks@gmail.com and we will send you the information for the next contest once it is available.
