BAY RIDGE/DYKER HEIGHTS — AS INAUGURATION DAY NEARS, students in Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’ Congressional District 11 are invited to imagine how they would improve Americans’ lives as president. This week, Malliotakis launched the 2025 Presidents Day Essay Contest, which she has sponsored annually since being elected to Congress. The Presidents Day Essay Contest, named for the federal holiday observed in February,  invites students in grades 3-5 who reside in or attend school in the 11th Congressional District to share their ideas on how they would improve their community and country as President of the United States. To be considered, essays must include the student’s first & last name, school, grade, class, along with parent or guardian’s name and contact information.

Essays must be 400 words or less in length and should be submitted via email [email protected] by Friday, Feb. 28. Winners will receive a certificate of recognition, a gift card to a local bookstore and will be invited to a pizza party where they will have the opportunity to discuss their ideas with Malliotakis.

“Each year, my office receives hundreds of essays from students across Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn. This contest provides a valuable opportunity for students to learn more about our government and challenges facing our community,” said Malliotakis.
