The American Legion Joyce Kilmer Post 25 Auxiliary in Milltown recently sponsored its annual Americanism Essay Contest for students in grades three through 12. This year’s theme was “What is my patriotic role as a U.S. citizen?” Students at the Joyce Kilmer School submitted more than 400 entries. Seven division winners received $100 and a citation plaque, and will advance to a national contest. Pictured during an April 20 ceremony are (front row, l-r) David Horan, Derek Buhl, Noah Paladino and Anne Marie Paprota, and (back row, l-r) Auxiliary President Victoria Decibus-Bossert, Maranie Harris-Kuiper, C.J.
