2 BMS students awarded for patriotism essays

Middle schoolers aren’t known for their enjoyment of writing essays, Belgrade Middle School principal Julie Mickolio admits, but she says that makes the accomplishment of students who chose to participate in the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States’ Patriot’s Pen essay contest all the more impressive. “For them to initiate writing (.) that indicates to me those girls will step up and do more,” she said of Gabriele Wells and Lilian Tirrell, BMS students who were awarded $300 and $100 scholarship prizes respectively this year. The contest is an annual, national event sponsored by the VFW to encourages students to engage with patriotic topics. Scholarship prizes are awarded for the 300- to 400-word essays, provided by local VFW posts. The theme of this year’s essay was, “What Does Patriotism Mean to Me?” This is the second year that Belgrade Middle School students participated in the contest.
