Omega Learning Center, a Partner in Education with Simpson Middle School, is sponsoring a contest for the students! The contest is a Creative Writing Contest, where the students write an essay, 200 words or less, honoring their favorite certified staff member (administrator, counselor, media person, teacher...). Both the student who writes the essay, and the staff member the essay is about, has a chance to win the GRAND PRIZE. The one student winner will win $100 cash, while the teacher will win a gift card to Aspen Steak House. Omega Learning Center is a huge advocate for students’ learning, and together with Simpson Middle, has come up with a fun way to incorporate education into every day activities. Please encourage your student to participate in this contest, as it supports writing for fun! The flyers explaining this to students and parents will be distributed on May 3rd. The students will have two weeks to write their essay. The will be judged by an Omega certified teacher.

You’ve learned some lessons over the past few years. If you could rewind your life, how would you get closer to your goals? What would you do differently with the knowledge you have today? This is your chance to pass on those lessons to other students. We’re looking for videos that show others what YOU would do if you had a second chance. We want to see proof of what you’ve learned – and how that knowledge can help others reach their own goals. Need more motivation? How about the chance to win up to $2,500?
So, what would you do differently? Enter the Xap and Bridges’ What Would You Do? video contest and show what you’ve learned from your past.Tell us what you would do if you had a chance to redo your life so far!
