The Honolulu Rose Society (HRS) is currently sponsoring two writing contests for Hawaii Elementary School children in K to 6th grade to celebrate the establishment of two new themed rose gardens (“Peace Rose Garden” and the “Heroes Rose Garden”) at the Pearl City Urban Garden Center,. Students will be asked to describe “What Peace Means to Me” and “What a Hero (Heroes) Means to Me” in 30 words or less.
One winner will be selected for each of the following grade-divisions in each of the two contests:
· Grades K - 2
· Grades 3 - 4
· Grades 5 - 6
There will be a total of six winners each of whom will win $100 for their winning entry. Winning answers will be engraved on small plaques and placed on garden benches in the Peace Rose Garden and in the Heroes Rose Garden.
