“All great change in America begins at the dinner table.” – Ronald Reagan
LifeFirst student contests provide an outlet for Texas students to find their voice. These contests are not academic exercises, rather, they serve as conversation starters between students and adults, whether they are parents, teachers or pastors.
These conversations influence multiple generations and equip all participants to communicate why every innocent life should be valued and protected.
For an overview of all Student Contests please download and share our General Contest Flyer!
Contests are available for students in third grade through college. Public, private, and homeschooled students residing in Texas are eligible to compete. Please click the contest links below for more information and to register for contests.
In addition to the individual awards to winning students, LifeFirst will supply a gift card to classroom teacher/adult group leaders if three or more students in a class/group participate in one of our contests. The gift cards are to host a classroom party at the conclusion of the contest. Through the classroom parties even students that did not participate directly in the contest can be drawn into the discussion of the value of life.
