"If I Were Mayor, I Would..." Student Contest
Tuesday, February 21, 2017 - 6:00pm
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 10, 2017
St. Helens, Ore. – The St. Helens City Council invites local students to share their creative ideas about what they would do if they were mayor of St. Helens. Three local winners will receive $100 in cash and lunch with Mayor Rick Scholl.
The “If I Were Mayor, I Would…” Student Contest, run in partnership with the Oregon Mayors Association (OMA), is open to local students enrolled in school or being home-schooled for the 2016-2017 school year. This is the sixth year that St. Helens has participated in the statewide contest.
Students can submit entries to City Hall in one of three categories: a poster competition for grades 4-5, an essay competition for grades 6-8, and a digital media presentation for high school students. Completed submissions must be received at City Hall by 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25. A complete contest packet and entry form are available to download on the City’s website at www.ci.st-helens.or.us/news. Hardcopy versions of the application packet are also available at City Hall.
A winner from each category will receive $100 cash and lunch with Mayor Rick Scholl. Winning entries will be sent to the state competition for a chance to win an Apple iPad Air 2.
All completed submissions will be reviewed at the May 3 City Council Work Session. The Council will evaluate the entries based on creativity, clarity/sincerity of thought, proper use of grammar and subject relevancy.
In past years, St. Helens students who have won at the local level have had great success at the state competition.
