Annual Cesar
E. Chavez Coloring Contest
| The City of Tempe formally recognizes March
31st as an official holiday in honor of Cesar Chavez. Each year
the Diversity Department partners with a selected Tempe Elementary
School to sponsor a coloring contest for the students. The purpose
of the coloring contest is to further educate students about the life of
Cesar Chavez, a true public servant. The Diversity Department
provides the teachers with a lesson packet to assist them in educating
the children on Cesar Chavez' service and calling. The children
are then encouraged to think about their own public service calling
while reinforcing the importance of others. Students in grades
Kindergarten through 5th grade participate in the coloring contest and
two winners are selected per grade level. |
