REMINDER: ASBA Seeking Student Speakers
ASBA is continuing to accept student speakers submissions for our ASBA’s annual Student Speaker Contest. Not only will winners collect nice cash prizes, but they’ll also be recognized by School Board Members and Administrators when they present their speeches at the ASBA Annual Conference in December! The deadline for submitting entries is October 22.
Please encourage your 11th and 12th grade Arkansas students to submit their essay for consideration. The cash incentives are nice, and we believe worth the effort.
Be sure to pass this along to teachers and principals in your district who may know students who would be interested in participating. Use this link for details & application: https://5il.co/10bg8
