Offers schools
an effective character education and literacy program
that is endorsed by the National Association of Secondary
School Principals and the National School Boards Association.
Is an
inclusive activity, encouraging students of all
backgrounds/abilities to self-express confidently
and coherently in the medium—writing, music
or art—of their choice.
Enables
more than 100 young people to win prizes!
Oftentimes, a winner will be a student who has never
before received any kind of recognition or been told
that his/her ideas matter. Participating in the contest
can be a life-transforming experience for a young
person.
Encourages
families to talk about what matters most in life.
What can be more important?
Creates
a positive atmosphere of trust and respect in the
classroom.
Is easy
for teachers
(especially in Art, Music, English and Social Studies
departments) to incorporate into their lessons, and
does not create extra work.
Let’s
schools honor their own. Every participating school
is guaranteed one winner!
The Philadelphia Inspired
Expressions Contest is endorsed by the National Association
of Secondary School Principals and the National School
Boards Association.
