The Amityville School District has announced that the Amityville Veterans of Foreign Wars will participate in the nationwide essay writing contest, “The Patriots Pen.”
This is the fourth year of the Amityville VFW running the essay contest. The group has had the pleasure of reading numerous essays by Edmund W. Middle School students and awarding cash prizes to their top essay writers.
“The Patriot’s Pen” is designed to promote patriotism, research, history and writing. This year’s national theme is “How Are You Inspired by America?” The Amityville VFW is the sponsoring Post for all students that live or go to school in Amityville.
In the past, the event has featured winners from both the Amityville School District and St. Martins of Tours. Essays for the competition are due by Oct. 31. The district wishes the best of luck to all the essay writers.
