Rotary 4-Way Test Essay Contest
Our club had the pleasure of hosting the finalists of this year's local Rotary 4-Way Test Essay Contest at a weekly meeting, once again, the students in our region impressed us with their thoughtfulness, insight, and writing talent. First place was Kinslee Bladow, a junior from Wyndmere School, earned top honors with her essay "What Does It Mean to Live a Good Life?"  Jasmyn Benedict, a senior from Wahpeton Public School, received 2nd place for her essay on "Social Media". Evelyn Hermunslie, a senior from Richland 44 School, earned third place with her essay "Why Phones Should Be Banned in Schools".  The students each brought a unique perspective grounded in the Rotary 4-Way Test - demonstrating honesty, fairness, goodwill and benefit to all.  Pictured from left to right: Club President Edd Goerger, Essay Contest Chair Kim Nelson, Kinslee Bladow, Jasmyn Benedict, and Evelyn Hermunslie.
