ROCHESTER, Minn. – 4th, 5th, and 6th grade are invited to participate in the League of Minnesota Cities’ annual Mayor for a Day Essay Contest.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for our local youth to share their ideas and thoughts on local government. I encourage our fourth, fifth and sixth grade student to submit an essay,” states Mayor Kim Norton. “I am eager to get a glimpse of our City through their perspectives and discover their thoughts on how to continue improving the Rochester community for residents of all ages and backgrounds. Children and youth are such a vital part of the future of our city and cities across our great state.”
Three winners will be chosen to receive $100 prizes. The question for the essay is, “What would you do if you were mayor for a day?”
