Student recognized at Montoursville board meeting for Days of Remembrance essay
Summary
The board honored Days of Remembrance essay contest participants and presented awards, highlighting student entries from across 11 counties and multiple honorable mentions; an essay winner read contest material for trustees and attendees.
The Montoursville Area School Board opened public recognitions on June 10 by honoring the Days of Remembrance essay contest participants and presenting awards to students from the district and region.
Board members and contest organizers described the competition’s scope — 97 entries from 11 counties and 15 different schools — and noted the program’s expansion from a high-school-only contest in 2019 to include middle schools starting in 2021. One student read a prompt/essay excerpt to the board and winners received certificates and checks; administrators acknowledged teachers and volunteers who supported the contest.
Board President (Mr. Gardner) and administrators praised student work and thanked teachers by name. The recognition preceded the board’s regular business and provided a moment of community celebration before routine approvals and budget discussion.
The program’s organizers noted they would continue the contest next year and encouraged community members to attend awards night and related events.
