Stuart Hall Students Master DAR Essay Contest

Three Stuart Hall Students take home the glory!

The local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution ( DAR) hosts an essay contest every year for local students. This year's senior topic was how Christopher Columbus' early experiences influenced his later successes and failures as an explorer and captain. Senior, Derek Obenschain and Junior, Mona Breslau won the senior division contest, reading their papers at the February DAR meeting.

The junior division topic compared and contrasted the different experiences of those who helped build the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s (Chinese and Irish immigrants). 7th grader Cady van Assendelft won the junior division and read her paper at the meeting.

There was a cash prize for the winners. Congratulations to these talented students!
