Merrick Avenue Middle School students Alexa Addonizio and Lylah Cassidy recently won an Americanism Essay Contest at the local level.

Students in Denise Schleith's International Buddy Club submitted essays to the contest sponsored by the Merrick Chapter of the American Legion Auxiliary. The students were tasked with answering the following prompt: "How can we address the health and well-being of our veterans, military, and their families?"  

“Their essays have now been submitted to the Department of New York Americanism Chairperson,” explained Christina Cone, a social studies chairperson. “If chosen, they would then advance to nationals.”
