Students Invited To Enter City Of Dunedin's Martin Luther King Jr. Essay Contest

DUNEDIN

"Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star.
For it isn't by size that you win or fail.
Be the best of whatever you are."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke these words to middle school students.

Dunedin students are invited to submit an essay on what these words mean to them.

Five winners will be presented with a prize and are invited to read their essays at the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration on Saturday, Jan. 15, at 8:30 a.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center, 550 Laura Lane, Dunedin.

Essays should not exceed 500 words and should be mailed to owilson@dunedinfl.net or mailed or dropped off at the Dunedin Public Library, 223 Douglas Ave., Dunedin, by Dec. 17.

Note on your essay your name, age, address, phone number and your school name or home school.
