Congratulations to the following eighth grade students for winning the annual Catskill Elks Club #1341 essay contest:

Rachel Maggio - 1st place

Kevin Feeney - 3rd place

Each year, the Catskill Elks Club essay contest asks middle school students to write about an American-themed topic. This year’s topic was, “How can patriotism be demonstrated?”

Rachel Maggio received a $50 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble for her first place essay. All three winners will have their essays submitted to the state level contest.
