This year the topic was “Why I am Proud to Pledge Allegiance to our Flag”. The contest inspires children to think about our Pledge of Allegiance and their role as American Citizens. Excellent essays were submitted by Cannon Beach Elementary School 5th graders Chance Giguiere, Connor Merrell & Aamiah Trine. The essay submitted by Chance Giguiere was chosen as the winner and he received a $75 award. Second place went to Connor Merrill who received a $25 award. Aamiah Trine received a participation certificate. The students read their essays at a school assembly on Friday, January 27, 2012. They were all presented with a certificate. The winning essays were submitted to the NW District Contest and if chosen as winners at that level, the essays will be submitted to the State competition.
