The Optimist Club of Grand Cayman has a top-down approach to getting participants. They recently held a joint meeting for all school administrators and sought their buy-in for Optimist Club programs.
The essay contest will be the first to get underway. The topic for the essay contest is ‘The Internet, Today’s Evolution or Tomorrows Menace?” while for the oratorical contest students will debate on “Cyber Communication, Progress or Problem.”
The technology theme should feel contemporary to students and encourage them to think critically about the way they act when online.
Past club president Dunbar McFarlane completed his presentation to the school adminstrators by quoting from the Optimist Creed and encouraging a positive attitude for all.
