Essay Contest Winner

Bic Pens recently announced the winner of their Essay Contest. Rebecca Mann, a fourth grader at Summit Christian School in Fort Myers, beat out over 9,000 entrants to take first place in the southeast division.

Bic challenged students to pen a 100 word essay explaining what super power they would like to have and why. Rebecca wished for the power to transform landfills and garbage into healthy food, and polluted rivers into clean drinking water. She explained how her super power would help the Haitian earthquake survivors as well as others around the globe. Just for fun, she would also create some ice cream mountains and rivers of chocolate syrup!

Rebecca will receive an award of $500 plus $100 for her classroom.
