Each year the VFW sponsors the Patriot’s Pen Writing Contest, a national competition for students in grades six through eight. This year, students were asked to write an essay on the theme: America's Gift to My Generation. On March 17, Ms. Krusper and Mrs. Blow's sixth-grade winners and their families were invited to an awards dinner at the VFW where they read their award-winning essays and received participation certificates and monetary awards. Veterans of Foreign War Post #6912 local-level winners are listed from first to fourth place: Collin Schrag, Keira Stockum, Katelynn Baker, and Stephanie Beyer. The entries will go on to national level competitions. Please visit the VFW "Youth Scholarship" web site for more information about the annual Patriot's Pen Writing Contest and The Voice of Democracy scholarship available to high school students.
