REACH
Students participate in a national contest "What My Mother Means to Me." Entries are accepted beginning every September 30th. All entries must be received by the AMI State or National Essay Contest Chairman by February 20th. Winners are announced at the end of March so the States are able to recognize their award recipients in time for Mother's Day.
