The City of Minnetrista is participating in the Mayor for a Day Essay Contest, which is a program to engage local 4th and 5th grade students in civic engagement through a written essay contest.
To enter, fourth, fifth, and sixth graders can answer the prompt, “What would you do if you were mayor for a day?” for a chance to win $100 and recognition in Minnesota Cities magazine. If the winner is from Minnetrista, the Mayor will announce at a future City Council meeting.
Deadline
The deadline for submissions is Dec. 12. Students and parents/guardians can submit essays via an online form, a PDF email attachment, or through the mail. Winners only will be notified in early January.
