To the editor,
As a member of our local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the Jimplechute’s thoughtful and generous coverage our recent American History Essay Contest.
With the help of the JISD administration and teachers, the contest challenged students
( grades 5-12 ) to utilize historical research and their own creativity to write about either a patriot of the American Revolution or a Founding Father of the US Constitution.
Your being there and publishing their actual winning essays was surety a proud and inspiring moment for these young people and their families.
Thank you for consistently providing this kind of strong local support for our community.
A quote by Henry James comes to mind, “Patriotism is like charity, it begins at home.”
Kindest regards,
Jennifer Sanders
