Congratulations to Peekskill Middle School students Ashley G., Bremlin C., and Danna F. of Mr. Scully's & Ms. Kearse's social studies class! Their Gettysburg Address sculpture earned Second Place in a regional history and art contest hosted by the Lincoln Depot Museum!

What makes this achievement even more impressive is that the students entered the competition entirely on their own initiative, demonstrating remarkable creativity and independence. Their work stood out among submissions from across the region and earned them recognition from museum officials, who also expressed their appreciation for Peekskill Middle School's commitment to fostering student creativity.

The three students will be honored at an awards presentation on Saturday, June 20, at the Lincoln Depot Museum. As part of their award, each student will receive a family museum membership, a membership pin, a gift certificate from SPINS Hudson, and an author-signed copy of "Lincoln Comes to Gettysburg".

We are incredibly proud of Ashley, Bremlin, and Danna for their initiative and for representing Peekskill with excellence!
