Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Essay Contest Winners

SIJ is proud to announce that the Junior High essay winners of the Captain Hubbard Burrows Chapter are Gabrielle Sullivan (grade 7) and Nicolette Makris (grade 8).  The subject of their essays was Ellis Island through a Child’s Eyes.  While the theme of the essay is offered to students, students are expected to explore their creativity and research and writing skills to create a concise, interesting, document-based essay.  Their research, writing and revision skills set them apart from all the Junior High applicants in the Hinsdale area.  Both young ladies have been invited to a reception on February 21st hosted by the Chapter.  Congratulations to Gabrielle and Nicolette!
