Information: York Region District School Board is proud of its strong partnership with the York Regional Police. This year, we will have an opportunity to highlight our partnership and showcase the talents and abilities of our students through the Chief for a Day contest. Together with York Regional Police Chief Eric Jollife, I would like to extend an invitation to all our Grade 5 students to participate in this essay and speaking competition. The contest is sponsored by the York Regional Police Appreciation Dinner Committee and the winner will be asked to present his or her speech at the 26th Annual Police Appreciation Dinner on May 16, 2018. The contest is a great educational tool and a means to facilitate greater understanding between the police department and our students. Our experience over the past years has been rewarding for everyone involved. This year’s essay topic is: How does York Regional Police demonstrate leadership to ensure the community feels safe and secure? The contestants will be judged on the quality of content, and their public speaking ability. Each school is asked to submit one essay per Grade 5 class to their superintendent by February 18, 2018. Speeches should be two to three minutes in length. Superintendents will choose five submissions from across the Board to be forwarded to the final competition. The five finalists, their parents and teachers will be invited to attend the York Regional Police Headquarters in Aurora on March 6, 2018 at 9:00 a.m., where finalists will deliver their speeches before a panel of judges. The panel of judges will be comprised of the Chief and Deputy Chiefs of Police and the Co-Chairs of the Police Appreciation Night committee. After hearing all the finalists, an overall winner will be selected as “Chief for a Day.” Homework:
