America and Me Essay Contest winners

Three students from St. Paul Catholic School have been named local winners in the 40th annual America & Me Essay Contest, sponsored by Farm Bureau Insurance. The three students, who earned first, second, and third place awards, are Peter Fox, first, Madison Skau, second, and Catherine Lessnau, third. All three received award certificates for their achievement (which will be presented at graduation). As the school’s first place winner, Peter’s name will be engraved on a plaque for permanent display in the school. His first place essay now advances to the state level competition, from which the top ten essays in Michigan will be selected. Congratulations to all who participated!
