PTA is partnering with the Washington, DC Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation on their Kids for King Education Initiative which inspires youth from grades 3-12 to write an essay, create a piece of art, or produce a short video about the lasting legacy of Dr. King and his ideals of democracy, justice, hope, and love.
Nine finalists will be selected from the entries received who will win a trip to Washington, D.C. and will participate in a live press event on the National Mall. Each of the finalists will also receive a laptop computer. Complimentary meals, travel, and hotel accommodations will be provided for each student and a parent/chaperone. Each Kids for King Education Initiative entrant will receive a blue Build the Dream wristband.
The deadline for entries in April 30, 2010, so act fast! To learn more about the program visit www.KidsForKing.org.
