The Meaning of Home contest is a great opportunity for students to: Build their creative writing skills. Learn about the importance of having a safe home. Participate in Community Engagement by raising money and awareness for your local Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North (Habitat VIN). Each student submission provides Habitat VIN with a $10 donation from Sagen™, founding sponsor of the contest. Also, grand prize winners will receive an iPad and a pizza party for their class and runners-up will receive a tablet and a class pizza party. Habitat VIN will receive $30,000 if a student in your school district is a winner and $10,000 for a runner-up. This funding will go directly into building new affordable homes for local families.

Classrooms that participate can complete the activity before Christmas and submit entries in January either online, through email or by mail.
