Sunrise Rotary Essay Contest Winners

Submitted

The Rotary Club of Marco Island Sunrise, Inc. recently sponsored an essay contest at Manatee Middle School. Students were asked to research and then compose an essay explaining Rotary’s 4-Way Test, the guiding principal for Rotarians worldwide.

Specifically, students were asked to explain how the 4-Way Test could improve one’s life, despite differences in beliefs and opportunities. A six-member committee from Sunrise Rotary read the essays, graded them and chose winners from each grade.
