The Post membership voted to participate in the Department of NJ's Safety Essay Contest. The contest was open to all township students in grades 6, 7, and 8. The Post continued to sponsor this contest up until the mid 2000's. Students were required to write an essay on a  safety theme of their choice. Demands on student time and curriculum prorities prevented the middle school students from participating.
