Students at Elmore High School participated in this contest but we cannot locate their essays. If anyone can locate an essay from that year we will be happy to post it here. To view the published book featuring selected essays, click here. Beginning in 2000 every essay written according to the rules that is electronically submitted to the Foundation is published online in it's entirety.
