PrincetonKIDS is looking for the “best teacher ever.”
The media company is challenging students to write an essay describing their favorite teacher. Teachers featured in the winning essays, as well as the writer, will receive a prize.
The contest is open to students from pre-K to 12th grade living in Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset and Bucks counties.
Students may write about how their favorite teacher has influenced their lives, lessons they taught and what makes them the best teacher ever.
PrincetonKIDS will select five winning essays. The teacher featured in each winning essay will receive a $100 gift card courtesy of PrincetonKIDS. Selected excerpts from each winning essay will be published in the Spring 2014 KIDS on the go! Guide. Each winning essayist will receive a special treat for his or her entire homeroom class.
Essays should be no more than 450 words in length. Submissions should include the writer’s name, age, grade level, school and teacher’s name, as well as contact information like a phone number or email address.
Entries can be emailed to teacher@princetonkids.com or mailed to PrincetonKIDS, PO Box 1392, Princeton, N.J., 08542. Submissions must be postmarked by March 1, 2014.
