Dowagiac Middle School issued the following announcement on Feb 27.
Dowagiac Middle School 8th grade students participated in the 53rd annual America & Me Essay Contest, sponsored by Farm Bureau Insurance. All 8th graders completed essays about their personal Michigan heroes, showing how friends, family and community members have made a positive, lasting difference in their lives. The essays were written in November, and the top essays were then selected by Mrs. Stockwell and DMS staff. Our local Farm Bureau agent, Jeff Neumann, then submitted the essays to Farm Bureau’s Corporate office in Lansing, Michigan, for judging. We appreciate his continued support in sponsoring this writing opportunity.
Our top essayists at DMS this year were:
1st place – Haley H.
2nd place – Mya V.
Haley’s paper will now continue on to the State level, competing against all other first place essayists from across the state, in hopes of winning a $1,000 scholarship.
Congratulations Haley and GOOD LUCK!!
