The Monett Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution was pleased to award certificates and scholarship checks to local high school award winners on Saturday, April 13th. The Alexander McNair Chapter contacted seven area high schools to nominate one outstanding young senior, who exhibits the qualities of good citizenship in their home, school, and communities.
Four area schools selected students who have demonstrated dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Three of the students also competed in the DAR state-wide essay competition, writing about our American heritage and our responsibility for preserving it. They focused on “How do the combined actions of so many good citizens keep our nation moving forward?”
Award winners are: Aubrie Graham, Exeter High School; Laney Moore, Southwest High School; Audrey Lowe, Purdy High School; and Dakota Birchfield, Wheaton High School.
Laney Moore and her family attended the ceremony. Laney was presented with a certificate, pin and scholarship check. Members were amazed at Laney’s poise and confidence, confiding that the essay judges had given her essay the highest marks possible.
Laney will be attending the University of Arkansas, where she will study agriculture.
Additionally Alexander McNair welcomed another new member to their DAR Chapter. Joining them is Karen Blankenship, from Shell Knob. The chapter meets on the second Saturday of the month at the First United Methodist Church in Monett.
On May 8, the chapter will have a showing of heritage quilts and learn about their role in our American heritage. The public is welcome to view quilts or to bring their own to display.
