clubs in 200 countries.
This contest is a District-wide event covering ten counties and providing your students an
opportunity to earn the prize of $300 for creating a poster depicting what “Service Above
Self “ means to them. The winner’s classroom will also receive a pizza party. We hope that

You may make this contest a curriculum event that is graded before submission to the host

grade the posters, that the original submissions are sent in according to the schedule.
Thank you for allowing your students the opportunity to participate.
