What It Means to Be an American Patriot
















Well Congratulations needs to go out to our American Patriot.... Todd.

Earlier this Semester Todd entered an Essay at School sponsored by the Lions Club. We got a phone call in Late March letting us know that His Essay took 1st place.


In April we received a phone call that his essay won out of all Second grades in Idaho and Oregon. Needless to Say we were very proud and excited for him. We kept it all a secret from him until a week ago when we threw a surprise party letting him know that he had won.

We were invited to attend an Awards ceremony in Sun Valley, Idaho where he was honored for his essay. Along with a few certificates, he received a $100 savings bond.

His Family was invited to attend and so Grandma Eckenroed and Grandpa and Grandma Cranor along with Mom and Dad all made the trip to support him.

Congratulations Todd!!
