This year, Marco Island Academy students are once again entering in the Laws of Life essay contest. This year’s prompt revolves around role models, and how they play an integral role in our lives. More specifically, students interested in entering must explain and give examples of a role model that has taught them respect, responsibility, kindness, perseverance, self-discipline, and fairness. If selected, students are eligible to win a monetary prize of up to $2,000.

“Considering our past successes here at MIA, I’m looking forward to seeing what this year’s talented group of juniors and seniors can provide,” said English Instructor Keith Scalia. If you are interested in competing in this opportunity, essays are due by January 31, 2022, and will be judged in early February.
