Every president had his own
favorite meal, Ronald Reagan loved his home-style mac and cheese and Bill
Clinton has a penchant for authentic enchiladas.
It’s no surprise that the
Commander-in-Chief eats well at the White House, but which president would be the most
interesting to spend time with at lunch?
That’s the question being posed
to local 4th and 5th grade elementary and 6th thru 8th grade middle school students in
Community Financial’s annual essay contest in honor of Presidents’ Day.
From now until the holiday,
February 18, essays are being accepted at all Community Financial branches from
students as part of a contest asking which President – from George Washington
to Barack Obama – they’d like to enjoy lunch with and why.
“With Inauguration Day having
just passed, we wanted to once again give students the opportunity to provide
their thoughts on our nation and the presidency as only students can,” said
Natalie McLaughlin, Community Financial education partnership coordinator.
“There is no doubt that our students can provide some unique and fresh ideas.”
The top essay in each of two age
categories will receive a $100 gift certificate while five finalists in each of
the group will also receive $10
Subway gift cards. The two winners’ teachers will also receive a $100 gift card to
be used for supplies in their classroom.
In addition to the gift
certificates, the two winners in each age category will be treated to lunch
with their classmates and Community Financial President Bill Lawton.
Essay forms are available online
at www.cfcu.org/contest.
Last year’s winners were Emily Loebach of Meads Mill Middle School in Northville, who wished to have lunch with former President Abraham Lincoln, and Julie Shen of Miller Elementary School in Canton, who chose President Thomas Jefferson.
