Dear PS 101 Families,

We are excited to share the District 21 Respect for All Essay Contest, a wonderful learning opportunity open to all students in our school community!

This contest encourages students to reflect on the importance of respect, inclusion, and empathy, and to express their ideas through writing. Participation is optional, but we encourage families to support their children in preparing and submitting an entry.

The attached flyer includes the official contest information, writing prompts, expectations, and rubric for students to follow. Students may choose to complete the essay at home as an enrichment or extra credit opportunity.

As part of October’s National Respect for All initiative, District 21 schools are joining together to promote a culture of kindness, understanding, and acceptance.

Submission Information:
Completed essays should be submitted to our School Counselors, Ms. Kipriadis or Ms. Liebert.

Thank you for encouraging your child to take part in this meaningful opportunity to share their voice and celebrate respect for all.

Sincerely, 

Gregg Korrol

Principal
