West Bend West High School senior Quinn Skidmore will head to Washington D.C. at the end of the month to compete for a $30,000 scholarship in the VFW Voice of Democracy essay contest. Skidmore took first place for the district and she advanced from the state-level competition.
The Voice of Democracy contest required high schools students to write an essay and record a 3-5 minute audio rendition of that essay on the theme, “My Vision for America.”
The results will be announced at an awards program Monday evening Feb. 29.
