The March for Science Boston is hosting an essay contest — on the topic “Why should we stand up for science?” — with a winner in each of three grade categories:  K-5, 6-8, and 9-12.  The winning entry in each category will be read from the main stage at the march on April 22. Essays must be 500 words or less, and they must be received by 11:59PM on April 1. Enter by filling out this survey and submitting your essay online. Students in Grades K-2 may submit drawings instead of essays.

Teachers who would like to volunteer to serve as readers/judges for the essay contest and/or to conduct outreach for it, please email k12marchforscienceboston@gmail.com to express your interest.
