Madison students give their take on liberty
|
Junior Stephen Anderson's essay, "The Purpose of Being Free," won first place in the state-wide competition and was placed in a time capsule along with 49 other essays from winners in other states. The event honored Abraham's Lincoln's 200th birthday, and the time capsule will be opened in 2059 at Lincoln's 250 birthday.
Two other students from the Madison School District also did well in the state competition.
Gavin Howard, who will be a senior at Madison Senior High School this upcoming school year received second place for his essay, "The Potter's Wheel."
Honorable mention was given to Ben Robbins, a student at Madison Junior High School, for his essay, "Liberty, A Long Sought-After Treasure."
On Wednesday, the Standard Journal received the essays from Madison School District. Excerpts of all three are featured in the subscriber-only online edition.
Students throughout Madison School District honored Lincoln's birthday earlier this year with a three-month celebration called "Lincoln's Legacy: With Charity for All."

COMMENT RULES We welcome comments but ask that you remain on topic. Some comments may be reprinted elsewhere in the site or in the newspaper. Comments that are profane, personal attacks, potentially libelous statements or damaging innuendoes, or otherwise inappropriate or off topic are subject to removal. Repeat offenders will be blocked. Do not flag comments merely because you disagree with the comment. What you should know about comments on uvsj.comuvsj.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. Don't report a comment as abusive just because you disagree with the opinion. The goal of story comments is to allow discussion, not just one point of view. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines, click the "report abuse" link to notify us. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior by those folks who just want the attention. Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything that you wouldn't want your own child to hear. Ora anything you wouldn't want your mother to hear. Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals. Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his email, and send him a direct message. Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time. Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed. Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience. You should also know that the Standard Journal does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for review. You may also notify us via email at editor@uvsj.com Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the name used by the individual who posted the comment. Thank you for your comments! |
