In honor of America’s 250th birthday in 2026, the city of Glendale Office of Arts & Culture invites local fifth-grade students to participate in an essay contest celebrating the nation’s milestone anniversary.
As the United States prepares to commemorate 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Glendale is encouraging youth to reflect on what makes the country special to them. Students are asked to respond to the prompt: “Why do you love America?”
The contest is open to all Glendale fifth grade students.
