Thanks to all the students and teachers who submitted an essay. You are awesome!  

Teachers of students who submitted an essay will receive a free round trip car ferry ride.  Just call the office to register your name and give your mailing address; your ticket will be mailed to you.  We appreciate you!

Students, hold on.  Winners will be announced by November 1st, as already specified.  

The essays, so far, are funny and yet immensely profound.  We are really enjoying reading them.

Kids certainly have a lot of valuable ideas about their Virgin Island home.  We should ask them their opinions more often!

Comment below if you know someone who submitted an essay and tell us why you think he or she should win.

It is that time of year again and we at Love City Car Ferries, Inc. were wondering how to celebrate the educational experience of our children.  We came up with a plan:  Our First Annual Back-to-School Essay Contest!

Yes, you heard it right; all children in the 5th, 7th, and 9th grades who attend school in Virgin Islands are eligible.  The enclosed/linked document has all of the contest information.  Share with your friends via social media.  Schools with participating contestants are eligible to win an additional prize!
