America and Me Essay Contest Winners!
by Brenda Rau
Congratulations to Erica Sheahan (1st), Lily Steffke (2nd), and Alexia Lynch (3rd), our local winners in the “America and Me” essay contest. Eighth graders from the entire state participate in this essay competition, sponsored by Michigan Farm Bureau. Each school in Michigan can submit up to 10 essays. Local Farm Bureau judges determine a first, second, and third place winner from each school, and send the first place winner on to be judged at the state level. At the state level, the top ten winners receive a trip to Lansing, a tour of the capital, they meet legislators, and more. The top essay for the state also wins $1,000!
A special thanks to the Brickner Agency for our local sponsorship!
