We encourage all Wildecats to consider submitting an essay and/or speech to the Howard County Martin Luther King, Jr. Speech (Oratory) and Essay contests by October 30, 2020!  You can win cash prizes, and we know you have so much to share about this year's theme: “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”  Last year, Wilde Lake had the 2nd and 3rd place winners (Amen Owusu and Nica Vasquez) for the essay contest; we know we can take 1st place this year!  Details are at https://www.howardcountymd.gov/Departments/County-Administration/Human-Rights/Contests-and-Awards and click on the links for the Essay and Oratory Contests.  Contact Mr. Nicks at marcus_nicks@hcpss.org with any questions and good luck!
