The American Legion Auxiliary of Lincoln supports Americanism and Patriotism and is sponsoring an Americanism Essay Contest to help instill in our students the ideals of Americanism, Patriotism and Good Citizenship.

The topic for the essay is ”Why Am I Proud to be an American?”. The contest is open to all students in the 7th through 12th grades in the local Lincoln schools, and those home-schooled. Area grade schools and the high school guidance department have been given the information and guidelines for the contest.
