Themes for the essay should revolve around what it means to be a good citizen in our community. Students are encouraged to write about how young people can apply the Principles of Good Character to respond to events occurring during 2020 such as engaging in acts of kindness, especially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; promoting social justice; addressing equity and social awareness; and anti-bullying efforts.
