Students at Athens Middle School had the opportunity through their English classes to enter the "Patriot's Pen" essay contest for The VFW Auxiliary. This year's theme was "How are you inspired by America?" Local winners were eighth-graders Ted Schultz-Becker, first place, and Itzel Espinoza, runner-up. Schultz-Becker and Espinoza were given awards by the VFW Auxiliary Patriot's Pen chairmen Mrs. Denise Sekorski and Mrs. Gloria Lavicka. Mrs. Dee Brewster is their English teacher. Their certificates stated that they are "outstanding youth spokespeople of the future."
