"I
Like Me!" Art and Poetry Contest
I Like Me! is an art contest presented by the Northeast
Guidance Center. The theme of the contest is to encourage children
to express themselves in a positive way. Since self-esteem is a key
issue for many children, children with low self-esteem are more likely
to make negative choices,which may lead to a more negative life.
This contest is open to school children, age 14 and under, and is
facilitated by the school. In addition to being a good school or home
enrichment activity, the self-esteem concept invites classroom discussion
on this and other mental health issues.
Information
for participation may be obtained by contacting: J. Hill at (313)
921-9340 or jhill@mentalwellness.org.
Award winners will have artwork displayed at Eastland Center in early
Spring.
Finalists will be invited to a special Detroit Symphony Orchestra
"Young People's Concert" on Saturday, May 3, 2008, with
an award ceremony immediately following the concert.
