Congratulations to Aden at WestPark Elementary for winning the American Legion Auxiliary Hazelton-Butler Unit #53 writing contest.
Her essay, "What America the Beautiful Means to Me," earned the top prize for its heart and perspective. It is truly inspiring to see our students reflect on their community and country with such thoughtfulness and talent.
Way to go, Aden! Thank you for sharing your perspective and making the entire BESD community proud.
