As the first-place winner, Ava had the privilege of reading her award-winning essay entry to those in attendance. Her thoughtful and personal tribute to our nation's veterans not only appropriately honored our country's heroes by expressing "America's Gift to My Generation", but also represented Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah Schools well.
Special congratulations on a job well done by each of these ELGMS students!
