Hurry! The deadline is Friday, September 2!
Our good friends at Conexión Américas are ready to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 - Oct. 15) by celebrating the contributions and accomplishments of Latino families in our community.
They're kicking things off by celebrating the writing accomplishments of some young Latino writers with an essay contest called
"My Latino Roots, My American Dream." Writers must be Latino students in Middle Tennessee, grades 9-12. Essays can be up to three pages, typed and double-spaced. They can be written in either English or Spanish.
The winning writer wins a personal computer! Two runners-up will received gift certificates.
All essays must be in by Friday, September 2, at 5:00 p.m.
