ESSAYS: Students, wax patriotic

| March 1, 2010 7:46 AM

"What did the Lewis and Clark expedition do for my family?"

That's the theme for the 2010 Patriotic Essay Contest sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, 4th Degree, Bishop Kelly Assembly 185, Coeur d'Alene.

I encourage students from public and private schools, as well as home-schooled students, to participate in this year's contest.

Essays may be submitted March 1 through April 17. There will be three cash prizes. First place is $200, second place is $100 and third place is $50. Entries will be judged by The Press editorial department.

The contest is for students in grades 6 through 8. Entry forms are available by calling Graham Crutchfield at 762-0773.

A completed entry form must accompany every entry. Entries must be postmarked no later than April 17, 2010.
