2022 #JEIEssayContest – Reconnect
JEI’s annual Essay Contest is back! This year’s theme is all about connections. The last few years were a major disruption to our lives, especially for our children. Maintaining connections may have been difficult, particularly relationships with friends or our communities. This year we want to offer students the opportunity to delve into our theme, Reconnect, and consider the various connections in our lives.
This submission-based contest challenges our students to explore the idea of connection, making connections, and even disconnecting in an original and thoughtful way. This is their chance to test out not only their reading and writing skills but also their ability to express themselves clearly and effectively.
