Carrollton Exempted Village Schools

Four students were honored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Carrollton for their Patriots Pen essays.

Brayden Penrod took 1st place, while Emma Vrson and Ryan Barnett took 2nd and 3rd, respectively.  High School student Matthew Hossier was the Voice of Democracy winner.

The essays were submitted to the district VFW for further judging among
several other posts in other counties.  Ryan placed second at the district level.

The veterans said they really appreciate having students write on the topic and encouraged students to continue participating in this patriotic program. Way to go Warriors!
