Scholarship opportunity

After disease, humanity’s deadliest scourge has always been hate… hate has killed hundreds of millions. It knows no season and no limit. It is irrational and it is deadly. It is in us all. And it will live forever – unless we choose to stop it. The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage challenges students in grades 6-12 to combat acts of hatred, discrimination, and intolerance by participating in the Stop the Hate: Youth Speak Out essay contest. The grand prize is a $100,000 college scholarship. Please see your Guidance Counselor for more details. The deadline is January 2, 2009.
