AMERICANISM

Educating our youth about patriotism and Americanism is worth every effort we undertake. The program incorporates age-appropriate coloring, drawing, or an essay, beginning at kindergarten and encompassing students through the fifth grade. State awards will be presented at the Mid-Winter Conference in January. Each drawing or essay will include: Post, District, Students Name, School, Grade, and Teacher's Name.

Reach out and teach the children; they are our future.
