Cool in School encourages fifth grade students to actively utilize language arts while
enhancing their creative writing skills.
Through Stay Cool in School, students submit essays on the topic of “My Winning
Moment” in which they describe a time when they experienced the thrill of victory
similar to that of their football heroes. Ten finalists were selected by Miami Dolphins
wide receiver GREG CAMARILLO, and each will receive the ultimate prize: a visit to
his or her classroom by NFL players. Winners and their classmates will also receive
Stay Cool in School t-shirts and gifts for their classroom.
The student with the highest essay score will be chosen from the top winners and
named the Grand Prize Touchdown Winner. The Touchdown Winner will be given the
opportunity to act as a student reporter for NFLPLAYERS.COM and Weekly Reader
and conduct exclusive interviews with NFL players at a Super Bowl week event. The
final article will be published on the NFLPLAYERS.COM and Weekly Reader websites.
