“MOOZIE” ESSAY CONTEST FOR KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THIRD GRADERSOPEN UNTIL MARCH 24 TO PROMOTE KINDNESS, SPONSORED BY NONPROFIT CHILDREN’S KINDNESS NETWORK

Children’s Kindness Network (CKN) is celebrating kindness by hosting the 2023 Moozie Kindness Essay Contest for all children in kindergarten through third grade. The contest includes a new art option for the youngest students. Entry is free.

For contest rules, information on prizes, and submission form, one should email contest@moozie.com.

The prompt for essay and art submissions is: “What does kindness mean to you?” CKN sponsors the contest to promote literacy, creative arts, and kindness and related social/emotional values. CKN would like to see strong participation by students from the nonprofit organization’s immediate area, Greater Nashville, as well as entrants from across the USA and other countries. Vic Legerton, CKN President and Chief Executive Officer, notes that contest entry “is a great opportunity for young children to be creative, practice writing, and think about spreading kindness, which we all value. Students can engage in this fun activity before or during spring break.” Vic and team anticipate that contest participants will turn to “Moozie,” the kind cow, for inspiration.

CKN’s Moozie the cow is the kindness ambassador who comes with evidence-based lessons, songs, and stories. “Children listen to her messages of kindness,” says Founder Ted Dreier. “Moozie encourages kindness to animals, to Earth, to others and to yourself.” Moozie’s inspirations are available at www.moozie.org; on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter @moozieckn; and through a newly-launched podcast, Moozie’s Kind Messages, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Children’s Kindness Network is a 501c(3) nonprofit dedicated to instilling the values of kindness among young children through Moozie the Cow in various learning environments, and spreading joy to children through Moozie.
