An Overview of WDMCS Strategic Plan: Sharing the HOW
Stilwell Junior High Student Wins VFW Post 8879’s Patriot’s Pen Youth Essay Contest
“We are very proud of Keaton for taking a risk and entering a contest to share his love and interests of history with the VFW,” Stilwell Principal Eric Boyle said. “We are very appreciative of the VFW taking time out of their day to come and present this award to Keaton in front of our student body. I love seeing our students use their passion areas to showcase their talents.”
The contest, which is a youth scholarship, encourages young minds to examine America’s history along with their own experiences in modern American society, VFW Post 8879 says. Applicants were asked to draft a 300- to 400-word essay expressing their views based on a patriotic theme chosen by VFW Commander-in-Chief, Vincent “B.J.” Lawrence. This year’s theme was “Why I Honor the American Flag.”
VFW Post 8879 in West Des Moines works with all public and private schools encouraging participation in annual contests.
During Friday’s assembly, Randy Steig of VFW Post 8879 presented Moll a winning certificate as well as a $100 check. Moll now advances to the state-level contest.
