About

It’s that time of year again: Labor Day rolls around, summer comes to a close, and you're back in those uncomfortable desks. But we know there’s so much more that goes on in (and outside of) the classroom.



It’s your turn to give your teachers a lesson on who you are and what you care about in education. What do you want to see changed in your classroom or school? Tell us in a poem for your chance to win $1,000 towards your college tuition.
