BATESVILLE, IN — Students at St. Louis School won four of the top five spots in the recent VFW-sponsored Patriot’s Pen writing contest.
The patriotic-themed contest was open to several local schools.
The winners from St. Louis were:
- 1st Place: Kathryn Mack
- 2nd Place: Ava Hollins
- 3rd Place: Belle Young
- 4th Place: Sophia Hohenstein
Each year, junior high students in Mrs. Kyna Ritz’s Literature class at St. Louis School write a patriotic-themed essay for the class.
After they finish writing their piece for class the students are given the option to enter the official VFW Patriot’s Pen contest for a chance to showcase their writing abilities and possibly win cash prizes.
Congratulations to all of the winners and everyone who showcased their writing skills.
