This Place Matters
Essay Contest for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders
Do you believe historic buildings should be kept and protected?
We have some very special places in the Bartlesville area – The Price Tower is one. We also have Woolaroc and Frank Phillips Home. These places tell stories about our past, stories which help us understand how we live today. We take care of these places because we believe they are important.
We would like to know what you think.
Choose one of the three places and write an essay telling why you think it should be saved. Prizes will be given for the best essays turned in by April 4, 2010.
- 1st place: $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond.
- 2nd place: $500 U.S. Savings Bond.
- 3rd place $250 U.S Savings Bond.
Winners will be notified by telephone no later than April 18, 2010. All contestants are invited with their families to the recognition ceremony at 7:00pm on April 19th, in Community Hall at the Bartlesville Community Center.
