What is my favorite National Memorial or Monument? This question was answered in essay form by many of our local students including some of our very own RTHS sophomores. Chuck Roberts and Steve Korth from American Legion Post 403 were at RTHS today to present the contest winners with cash, prizes and certificates for their outstanding Americanism essays. Magdalene Good received 1st place in Division II (Freshman and Sophomores) which qualifies her essay to compete at the District level. Kathryn Groves received 2nd place and Derek Swartz received 3rd. Congratulations to all the participants and best of luck at the next level, Magdalene. Pictured from left to right are Chuck Roberts, Derek Swartz, Magdalene Good, Kathryn Groves, and Steve Korth.
