FALLON AUTO MALL'S
LEADERS OF TOMORROW CONTEST
Fallon Auto Mall will be periodically having essay contests throughout the year for local Churchill County Students. These contests are asking for the student to write an essay on a certain subject.
There are six age groups: 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18.
Each age group will be judged from an independent panel of judges and one essay from each group will be chosen. When a winner is chosen that student will be contacted, and will receive a $100.00 check from Fallon Auto Mall. They will receive a Leaders of Tomorrow certificate given by Fallon Auto Mall, and they will get their picture and part of their essay published in the Fallon paper. Their full essay can be viewed on our website for a limited time period.
FALLON AUTO MALL'S GOAL. We are all responsible for creating our future leaders. The parents, schools, society, all contribute to what we will have as a future society. At Fallon Auto Mall we know that our future lies in the hands of our children. That they will be running this country, starting businesses, working jobs, volunteering, and raising their own families. Our children are our greatest asset and they work hard in schools everyday to get a good education. We felt this was another way to honor them for their original ideas and give them some important exposure to make them proud of who they are and what they are capable of.
Good Luck Future Leaders
