“KINDNESS HERO” ESSAY CONTEST AND AWARDS RECEPTION

DATE: TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1998

Winners of the 1998 “Kindness Hero” Essay Contest will be honored at the Angels Camp City Council meeting Tuesday, May 19, 1998 at 7:00.

The contest invited students to submit their essays describing their “kindness heroes”; people in their lives who perform extraordinary deeds as a matter of course each day.

Students read their essays aloud to their respective “heroes” at the Council meeting. They later presented the awards to their "Heros" at a special reception honoring both the winners and “heroes.” The dessert reception was held at Mark Twain School at 7:30PM, following the meeting.

A more complete list of our plans are;

• “My Kindness Hero” Essay competition and awards program.
