Daughters of the American Revolution name 2011 good citizen recipients

On November 14, 2011, the Harmony Mission Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) met at the Ohio Street United Methodist Church in Butler to honor seniors from seven area high schools as Good Citizens. The students were selected for this honor by the faculty and senior class of their school. To be chosen they must have demonstrated in their lives, Dependability, Service, Leadership and Patriotism. Each student was presented a certificate recognizing him/her as the Good Citizen representing their school. They also each received a Good Citizen lapel pin and wallet recognition card.

As well as being honored as a Good Citizen to represent their schools, the students were also given the option of competing in the Good Citizen Essay Contest, which was to be administered by a faculty member. It had to be completed at one sitting, within a two-hour time limit, and without assistance of reference materials. The student receiving first place in the contest was Kortney Eidson. Her essay will be sent on to the next level of competition.
