Senator McConchie's Teacher Appreciation Contest
To celebrate educators around the 26th Senate District, I am writing to request your students to participate in the 2024 My Inspirational Teacher Essay Contest. Students in grades 6-12 are invited to write an essay of 250-500 words on their most appreciated teachers. This year’s contest celebrates how teachers positively impact their students’ lives with the theme: How My Teacher Inspires Me. Students must submit their essays by Tuesday, April 30th to be eligible.
PARTICIPANTS: All participants will receive a certificate of recognition from State Senator Dan McConchie’s legislative office.
FINALISTS: Finalists from grades 6-12 and excerpts from their essays will be featured on SenatorMcConchie.com. Finalists and their nominated teachers will also be invited to Senator McConchie’s district office in Lake Zurich on Friday, May 10th, for an awards ceremony and reception from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
GRAND PRIZE WINNERS: Two grand prize winners (one winner from grades 6-8 and one winner from grades 9-12) will each be awarded a $100 Amazon gift card to be used for educational supplies. (Governmental funds are not used for prizes. Amazon gift cards are donated).
