In honor of Black History Month in February, Tops Friendly Markets is offering an opportunity for students in third through fifth grade to honor those who are of African American descent in their own lives whom they admire most – their mom, dad, pastor, coach, sibling, etc.
Students may submit a paragraph, or more, by February 18 describing why the person is someone they look up to for a chance to win not only $100 for their school, but a $50 Tops gift card for themselves.
“Tops has been dedicated to educating the community about Black History Month for the past three decades, and last year we were overwhelmed by the heartfelt essays we received that we thought we’d once again encourage the youth of our community to share with us whom they admire,” said Kathy Sautter, public and media relations manager for Tops. “We hope that area teachers and afterschool programs embrace this unique opportunity with their students.”
