Congratulations are extended to many of our students for their efforts in the 2024-2025 Americanism Essay Contest sponsored by the Brick Elks Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America. Students were asked to author an essay answering the question, “What Does Patriotism Mean To Me?” St. Dominic School students rose above the competition explaining what they can do and how to show patriotism for our country.
This year there were four divisions which included 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades. The winners for each division are as follows:
Grade 5 : Amy McCarthy - 1st place
Juliana Ehrmantrout - 2nd place
Christian Balint - 3rd place
Grade 6: Peter McCoy - 1st Place
Anneyel Buchanan - 2nd Place
Myles David E. Macaluso - 3rd Place
Grade 7: Ella Concepcion - 1st Place
David McCarthy - 2nd Place
Kieran Lavin - 3rd Place
Grade 8: Lillian Jenks - 1st Place
Amelia Lauder - 2nd Place
Alex Pistolakis - 3rd Place
These winners will move on to the next level of competition at the District Level and possibly the State and National levels. Let’s go Blue Jays!
An awards luncheon will also be held in April at the Brick Elks Lodge. Our winners are excited to attend the festivities with their families. Saint Dominic School is extremely proud of these students’ accomplishments, and we congratulate them on this wonderful honor!
