Hey, kids, you could be Mr. Firecracker or Miss Independence 2023!
All Seward area children currently enrolled in Kindergarten through Fourth Grade are invited and encouraged to submit their essay on “Why I like to live in Seward!”
The essay should be approximately 500 words and either typed or printed. The student must be willing to read the essay several times in public, including on July 4, 2023, when they will also ride in the Grand Parade. While many schools provide time in class to write the essay, it can also be done at home.
Seward Rotary will once again select a Mr. Firecracker and Miss Independence, as well as a runner up for each. All four students will win fireworks, a trophy, and be an honored dignitary as Seward celebrates America's birthday!
Please mail or delivery completed essays to Seward Rotary Club, Attention Ben Spirks, Jones Bank, Box 469, Seward, NE 68434. In the right hand corner of the essay, include the student’s name, grade, school, parents’ name(s), phone number, and email. The deadline for essays to be received is noon on Saturday, May 20, 2023.
Good luck!
