The Nesquehoning Memorial VFW Post 8008 held a coloring contest for
kindergarten and 1st grade students. The theme was "I Pledge
Allegiance". The winning student had their design placed on the cover
of the brochure for the VFW's Loyalty Day program.
Commander Richard Ellis visited the school on Tuesday May 9th to hand
out prizes to students. The class winners each received a $25 Wal-Mart
Gift card and the school winner received a $50 gift card. The overall
winner was Trinity Breiner. The class winners
were as follows: Roger Damron, Tinley Day, Jesse Ellis, Natessa Green,
Hayden Leinhard, Chase McArdle, Bekim Mehmeti, Joy Pelcheck, Shaniya
Sanders, and Nicholas Singh.
The Panther Valley Elementary School and the members of the VFW are
proud of all the hard work the students did on the contest. The Panther
Valley Elementary School would like to thank Commander Ellis and the
rest of the members of the VFW for their generosity.
We strongly believe that it is important to recognize our community
members who are currently serving and have served in our armed forces.
