Revolutionary Recognitions The General Davie Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution – which promotes patriotism through commemorative celebrations, memorials, scholarships and activities for children, and assists with naturalization ceremonies – presented its American History Essay Contest award, the Good Citizen award and the 2017 Outstanding Teacher of American History award. Carrington Middle School seventh-grader Katelynn Carroll won the essay contest for her interpretation of the topic, “World War I: Remembering the War to End All Wars,” in which she wrote in the first person, as if she was a young girl living during the war. Voyager Academy high schooler Idara Carmichael received a certificate and pin to commemorate her Good Citizen award, which recognizes young people in the community who have demonstrated the qualities of community stewardship. Candace Evans, a language arts and social studies teacher at Pearsontown Elementary School, received the Outstanding Teacher of American History award for bringing history to life by dressing up as historical characters and taking students on historical trips. All three award winners also received flags flown over the United States Capitol.
