Daughters of the American Revolution Certificate |
Nay-osh-ing Chapter, Plover, Daughters of the American Revolution, held its annual Student Awards Night at the Charles White Library Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2001..
Shannon Moore, American History and DAR Good Citizens chairman, contacted schools early in the school year asking for essays. A panel of judges evaluated them and chose the winners.
American History Essay Contest entrants fifth through eighth grade in a public, private or parochial school are eligible to participate. The requirement this year was to write on the topic: “Describe how you felt on May 10, 1869, when the golden spike was driven at Promontory Summit, Utah, to celebrate the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad. Pretend you are either a settler planning to use the train to travel to your new home in the West, an Irish or Chinese worker who helped build the line or a Native American whose way of life was greatly affected by the railroad.”
This year’s winners are: Mandelyn Adams, sixth grade, James Madison Elementary School in Stevens Point; Megan Stankowski, Seventh grade, Mosinee Middle School; and Anna Rose Durst, eighth grade, St. Paul Catholic School in Mosinee.
Honorable mention was awarded to Jessa Lederer, eighth grade, Tri County in Plainfield.
The students read their winning essays. All winners received a certificate and bronze medal. The honorable mention winner also received two certificates.
The Good Citizens program is intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship. This contest is open to all senior class students enrolled in accredited public, private secondary schools in good standing with the State Board of Education. It is recommended faculty and students be involved in selecting the DAR Good Citizen Award student.
This year’s winners are: Marisa Trzebiatowski, Amherst; Scott Beyer, Loyal; Brittney Geenen, Mosinee; Kaitlyn Kuhn, Neillsville; and Kathryn Larson, Waupaca.
The reward is a pin, wallet card and certificate to be given at the school awards night.
It is remarkable and rewarding to have these hardworking students share their studies, accomplishments and goals. Anyone qualified and interested in joining the Nay-osh-ing Chapter, Plover, call 715-693-3654, 715-341-1996.
