 Jeff Martin and Jessica Vanderwall have been recognized as educators of the year representing the local VFW Chapter.  Jeff has been submitted to the district level in the 6-8 category and Jessica in the K-5.  Both teachers were chosen as educators who instill a sense of national pride in students by stimulating interest in America’s history, traditions, institutions, civic responsibilities, flag, etiquette and patriotism.

Tara Stubbers reads her Voice of Democracy speech. At left is Rick Johnson of VFW Post 4902. The VFW sponsors the contest. Her speech, a 3-5 minute tape on the topic “Does America still have Heroes?” concentrated on the sacrifice that has been made and is still being made by our men in the military, thus definitely qualifying them to be heroes today in the true sense of the word.Samantha Keating from Prairie was selected for second place by the judges, and junior Rachel Wemhoff of Summit was given third by the panel of judges.  Local winners are invited by the VFW group to attend an awards banquet in Keuterville March 6th, and as the local post winner, Tara will attend the District 2 Awards Banquet to be held at noon in Lewiston, December 12.
