"Conquering world hunger
starts with one person’s ideas expanding into a need for everyone worldwide to
come together and work as one nation, one world,” writes Nicole Lauzon.
This is the second year for the GROWMARK essay contest offered to high school students who are members of 4-H in Ontario and Nicole Lauzon of Frankford is the recipient. The theme of this year’s contest was “Fighting Domestic and Global Hunger.”
As contest winner, Nicole received a $500 award from GROWMARK. At the
Hastings County 4-H Association annual banquet and awards night in October, she
will be presented with a certificate of achievement and the Hastings 4-H
Association will receive an additional $300 to help support future programs in
her local community.
Four
provincial runners-up each received a $125 scholarship. The runners-up and
their 4-H Associations, in alphabetical order are: Dennis Catt of St. Thomas
(Elgin County 4-H); Julie French of Caledon (Peel County 4-H); Matthew Gerrits
of Wyoming (Middlesex County 4-H) and Valerie Robinson of Ayton (Grey County 4-H). To learn more about this contest and other opportunities for youth, visit GROWMARK's youth commitments and 4-H Ontario's scholarships and grants.
