The Scandinavian East Coast Museum is hosting an essay contest for students in grades 4-6, exploring their connections to Norwegian heritage through individual narratives. The contest aligns with the theme of this year's Bay Ridge Norwegian Day Parade, commemorating 200 years of Norwegian immigration. Participants are encouraged to choose a Scandinavian individual from New Netherlands, showcasing their historical significance and contributions. Winners will receive prizes and the chance to present their work during upcoming local events, including Viking Fest and the Norwegian Day Parade.
This year's parade theme is "Celebrating 200 Years of Norwegian Immigration," inviting students to explore Scandinavian heritage through personal narratives and historical connections.
Students are tasked with choosing a Scandinavian figure from the Dutch colony of New Netherlands to write about, fostering a deeper understanding of their rich history.
