Congratulations to Max Petersen and Lily Bailey!

Max Petersen and Lily Bailey read their DAR essays at the Samuel Holten House in Danvers on Sunday, March 14th during the local level awards ceremony. Max won Best 8th grade Essay and Lily won Honorable Mention for the 6th grade Essay. Both students won at the local and state levels for their perspectives as a settler (Max) and a Chinese worker (Lily) as the golden spike was struck to unite the two sections of the Transcontinental Railroad at Promontory Peak. Each student received a medal, a certificate and a flag, and had their pictures taken with members of the General Israel Putnam Chapter of the DAR for their wonderful work. Congratulations, Max and Lily!!
