Marwood Nursing & Rehab is sponsoring its Annual Essay Contest for the elementary school children of St. Clair County. This is held in conjunction with Older American’s Month and National Nursing Home Week. They are asking students to write about a senior (65 or older) in their life and how this person has made an impact on them (e.g. – what they have learned, how that person has enriched their life). There are no limitations to how much they write or type as long as it is legible. Pictures are optional. There may be 5 winners, one from each grade, 1-5. A $20.00 cash prize will be awarded for the best essay from each grade. The essays will be judged by the residents of Marwood Nursing & Rehab.
Deadline for entries is April 12, 2019. Please drop off or mail them to:
Activity Director
