The Write Challenge


The Write Challenge is an annual writing contest for students within the Lakota Local School District. The contest is hosted by Lakota LEADS.


This year's theme:


PRIDE


1.  the quality or state of being proud: such as

  • reasonable self-esteem: confidence and satisfaction in oneself: self-respect
  • pleasure that comes from some relationship, association, achievement, or 
    possession that is seen as a source of honor, respect, etc.
  • exaggerated self-esteem: conceit

​ 2.  respect and appreciation for oneself and others as members of a group and especially a             marginalized group

3.  a source of pride: a person or thing that makes you feel proud

4.  the most active, thriving, or satisfying stage or period: prime

5.  a group of lions living together
