A “Law of Life” is a saying or maxim that summarizes an ideal, a character value, or a principle about life. If followed by everyone, the Law of Life would make the world a better place.
The Georgia Laws of Life contest invites students to select a Law of Life and to use it as a prompt to write about a core character value such as honesty, generosity, courage, compassion, or perseverance. As a program of Rotary clubs in Georgia, the contest reflects Rotary’s emphasis on values, high ethical standards, and service to others.
Shown above are Bord of Education Chairman Marion Key, Duffy Weldon, Josh Hamlin, Camille Faraldi, Judge Jason Thompson, and Rotary President Ed Outlaw.
