Winter Haven invites student essays for City Government Week
The City of Winter Haven is celebrating City Government Week (Oct. 17-23) with an essay contest open to all middle- and high-school students. The theme is, “If I Were Mayor.”
Students are asked to answer the following questions in their essay: Why is Winter Haven great? What makes it special? What would you do to improve Winter Haven if you were mayor?
All entries must be submitted online no later than Oct. 14. A winner for each grade level will then be selected and invited to attend the Oct. 24 City Commission meeting to be recognized, meet the mayor and city commissioners, have their photo taken and receive a commemorative award.
More information can be found at mywinterhaven.com/essay.
