Batesville, IN — Earlier this year, St. Louis School (SLS) Junior High students were asked to participate in a writing activity for the VFW called the “Patriot’s Pen.” All of the students in Junior High were required to write a paper about what patriotism means to them. Their papers were then turned in to our local VFW to compete against their SLS peers and students from other local schools. This year, the top five winners were all from St. Louis School. 1st Place: Ava Hollins (6th Grade), 2nd Place: Ashley Hunter (7th Grade), 3rd Place: Bridget Lohmueller (7th Grade), 4th Place: Olivia Leising (6th Grade), and 5th Place: Carson Hartwell (6th Grade). We are very proud of all of our students for participating in this writing project and for helping to promote a love for our country.
