Ben Franklin Middle School
Each year, area students grades K-12 are invited to participate in the Americanism contest, sponsored by AMVETS Post #7. This year’s theme was “Why Should You Say ‘Thank You to a Veteran?” Ben Franklin 8th graders Emily Gorder, Emma Rehder, and Abby Lovelace took first, second, and third places for their essays. They were honored at a ceremony on April 24th at the Fargo Air Museum.
