U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Essay Contest
This year, the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree will be harvested from West Virginia's own Monongahela National Forest. The U.S. Forest Service demonstrates how the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree was chosen in West Virginia in "Finding the People's Tree." As part of the holiday season festivities, Senator Joe Manchin has launched an essay contest exclusively for Grade 4 students. They are invited to submit a 500-word essay about their love for West Virginia's enchanting forests and public lands while incorporating the 2023 U.S. Capitol's Christmas Tree theme "Endlessly Wild and Wonderful." This unique contest not only celebrates the beauty of West Virginia but also encourages students to showcase the writing skills they have cultivated in our West Virginia classrooms. The winning student will receive a trip to Washington, D.C., to participate in the tree-lighting ceremony. Essays are due by September 26, 2023. Click link to learn more about the contest guidelines and to submit essays.
