GREAT BAY:--- The “Letter and Essay Writing Competition” for students and teachers of St. Martin’s primary schools and high schools is open until March 2, 2018, said organizer and teacher Rochelle Ward.
The island-wide writing competition with a unique twist, is organized by Don’t Break the Comb (DBC), the Natural Hair Lifestyle brand of which Ward is the owner.
“The writing competition has three prize-winning categories that focus on self-esteem building, writing skills development, and school pride,” said Ward.
“Schools from both parts of our island are eligible to take part in the following categories,” 1. Fourth Grade primary school students (Letter writing); 2. Fourth Form or Fourth Year high school students (Essay writing); and 3. Teachers of the participating classes, said Ward.
The competition has a unique theme. “The letter writing topic for the fourth grade boys and girls is, ‘If you were your hair, what would you say about what makes you feel sad, angry, afraid and loved and what immediate changes would you want?’” said Ward.
“The essay topic for the high school boys and girls is, ‘All about My Hair Relationship.’ Each teacher of the participating classes is invited to submit his or her own entry in the respective category,” said Ward.
Principals and teachers of schools from both parts of St. Martin can contact Ward for details at email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
