“The duties of a teacher are neither few nor small, but
they elevate the mind and give energy to the character.” – Dorothea Dix
Our teachers – past and present – hold a very special place
in our hearts and often have a life-long impact. No matter how old we are, or
how far removed we are from our formative school years, most of us never forget
the teachers who made the greatest impression on us.
Georgia Rotary Clubs Laws of Life Essay Contest (GLL)
proudly dedicates our 25th Anniversary to the teachers who have shaped young
minds and ignited a passion for learning. We cannot think of a better way to
show our appreciation to every teacher who has devoted their life’s work to
education.
In keeping with this spirit, we invite you to celebrate the
special teacher(s) in your life through Georgia Laws of Life’s newly minted Honor
Roll Giving Society. Your tax-deductible contribution of $25 or more will
support our mission to transform lives by engaging Georgia high school students
to reflect upon, express and affirm strong character values. It will also pay
tribute to the very heroes in education who have given so much.
The Honor Roll Giving Society was created to support the
Georgia Laws of Life Essay Contest, which is offered free of charge to high
school students around the state. To date, more than 807,000 Georgia high
school students have written their personal Law of Life essay, and we aim to
achieve one million students by 2028.
May we count on your support? Please visit our Honor
Roll Giving Society donation page to honor teachers of the present and
past, and to make it possible for more students to experience this impactful
character education and ethical literacy program.
When you donate to honor your teacher, we encourage you to share via Facebook and tag #GeorgiaLawsofLife for additional exposure. The teacher with the most nominations will be announced in January. For gifts of $100 or more, we will list your teacher’s name on our website, send them a special recognition card (if mailing address is provided), and extend an invitation to the GLL annual teacher’s workshop ($250 or more). Let’s give our teachers the honor they deserve!
