Making Change Contest

Making-Change.jpg Each year in January/February, the City of Claremont and the Claremont Unified School District host the "Making Change" contest to recognize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other champions of human rights and social justice. This contest presents an opportunity for Claremont students to honor and remember all that these advocates of social change have done to transform our world for the better. Students (K-12) who live in or attend school in Claremont may participate by submitting individual letters, essays, multimedia presentations, or artistic works completed as a group.
