Congratulations to 6th grader Paityn Nicole Kates on on her 2nd Place winning essay, “What Veterans Day Means to America.”
Egg Harbor Township Mayor Paul Hodson publicly recognized Paityn at the December 18th Township Committee Meeting. Paityn read her essay and received a certificate for her outstanding accomplishment. Paityn’s family and ACS Upper School Principal Meg McHale attended the event.
Every year, Egg Harbor Township Veteran’s Advisory Board sponsors an essay question for students in the township. Paityn’s essay was submitted to ACS Middle School Language Arts teacher Mrs. Caitie Lee, who then forwarded the essay to the township.
