Students from Arthur Christian School, ALAH High School, and Atwood-Hammond Grade School recently showcased their patriotism and writing skills in the 2025 Americanism Essay Contest. Sponsored by the Arthur Legion Auxiliary #479, the Atwood Legion Auxiliary #770, and the Lovington Legion Auxiliary #429, the contest encouraged students to reflect on the thought-provoking question: “What is My Favorite National Memorial or Monument?”

119 essays were submitted across three grade-level divisions. To ensure a fair and impartial selection process, a panel of judges from Arthur, Atwood, and Lovington evaluated each essay anonymously—without knowledge of the students’ names, schools, or hometowns.

The contest was divided into three classes:

• Class I: 7th and 8th graders

• Class II: 9th and 10th graders
