They are seventh graders: Liam Recob 3rd; Tenlie Christiansen, 1st; Camryn Campbell, 2nd. They were asked to write an essay on “What does Patriotism Mean To You. Their awards were presented as part of the program at the Middle School. Tenlie Christiansen’s first place essay will be sent on to the VFW District contest.
