      OXFORD HILLS — The Advertiser Democrat is on a mission to find it annual Mother of the Year among its Oxford Hills moms.

      Children in fourth grade may enter the Mother of the Year contest by writing a short essay – one page only – telling us: Why My Mother Should be Mother of the Year.

      Essays should be thoughtful and honest. They need to be in the child's words with no adult input. Essays will be published in the paper.
