This year’s fourth grade "If I Were Mayor I Would..." essay contest winners captivated the volunteer readers and finalist judges’ attention with their compelling essays. 

Thank you to our volunteer readers, who were so impressed with the essays that they sometimes overlooked the fact that the ideas came from fourth graders!

Please join us in congratulating the eleven winners of MML’s If I Were Mayor, I Would…essay contest, their teachers, and the municipalities they represent:

The winners will be honored on Friday, April 25, 2025. We look forward to Governor Moore and State Superintendent Wright honoring these students whose essays stood out from the over 1,400 essays that we received.
