Did you attend Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day at Publix as a child? If you’re a current Publix associate who participated in this event as a child, we want to talk to you! Send an email to corporate.communications@publix.com with your name, phone number and current job title.
This year’s theme — “Plant a seed, grow a future” — is meant to inspire children to grow their dreams and reach for a bigger, brighter future. They will learn the importance of investing in themselves by planting seeds for their future. Children will be asked to show what they learned by participating in Publix News’ annual contest. Middle and high school students are asked to write a brief essay (150 – 200 words) detailing the seeds they’ll need to plant to grow the future they want. Elementary students are asked to draw a picture depicting a garden filled with their hopes and dreams.
Please submit essays on lined paper, using black or blue ink. Drawings should be on an 8 ½-by-11-inch sheet of unlined, white paper. On the back of the entry (in pencil), please include the child’s name and age, and your name, job class, and store number or department name. Please do not use a store stamp. Entries must be received by May 9 for consideration and will not be returned.
Children can work on their entries during the day of their visit. The best entry and runner-up in each category will receive a prize pack and could be featured in an upcoming issue of Publix News. Send entries through company mail or U.S. mail to:
