Inspire your students and give backThe Meaning of Home is an annual writing contest for students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 in support of Habitat for Humanity Canada. Students across Canada are invited to submit a poem or essay explaining what home means to them. It’s a great way to engage your students in an interactive and fun way, and it teaches youth the importance of safe, affordable housing.
