Winner! Winner! Chicken dinner! As the saying goes, this was true for some MHS students the evening of December 11. The Marion VFW Post 6015 and Auxiliary once again hosted a Patriot’s Pen and Voice of Democracy essay contest and a banquet to honor those who won. It wasn't a chicken dinner, but it was a delicious turkey dinner!
The high school Voice of Democracy contest was one by Noah Simons. In the middle school category, the Patriot's Pen essay had the following winners: 4th pplace, Jane VanEpps; 3rd place, Teagan Belcher; 2nd place, Veda Simons; and in 1st place, Silas Moore. Congratulations to all the authors of the patriotic essays and a big thank you to Deanna and the V Diner for providing the meal!
