Essay Contest Winner

Sarah Brackett received a $100 scholarship for her Patriot’s Pen essay from the Buhl Veterans of Foreign Wars. Her essay was first place at the local level. Each year, nearly 68,800 students in sixth through eighth grades enter the VFW’s Patriot’s Pen youth essay contest. The essay contest encourages young minds to examine America’s history, along with their own experiences in modern American society, by drafting a 300- to 400-word essay, expressing their views based on a patriotic theme chosen by the VFW Commander-in-Chief.

Congratulations Sarah!
