The Office of Arts & Culture, a division of Economic Development, visited six Glendale Elementary School District No 40 schools to announce the winners of the district-wide America250 Essay Contest for local fifth-grade students in celebration of America’s upcoming 250th birthday.
Councilmembers representing each school district attended the presentations, recognizing students with certificates and gift cards for their achievements. The city-wide grand prize winner will receive a certificate signed by the mayor, a $50 gift card, a family four-pack to Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, and the opportunity to read their essay during the Downtown Glendale America250 Celebration on June 20.
Team Glendale is proud to engage with the next generation of bright minds and to continue our strong partnership with local education partners.
