Zak received checks for $125 (chapter) and $150 (state) for his school entry along with certificates for winning both the chapter and state competition. Zak's brochure will be entered in the national competition.

Honorable Mention certificates were given to Kennedy Ann Smith, Brooke Richards, Abbey Stewart, Rhodie Smith, David Flurry, Meg Estes, Samuel Coffee, Ella Nokes, Kyle Elphick and Clayton Shepler.

The school entries were made under the encouragement of their teacher, Ms Joan Ergle for 8th Grade Social Studies. 75 students competed for these awards. Students were encouraged through their research to exhibit knowledge and understanding of American History using any of the five foundational documents as the brochure theme. Each finalist received a copy of the book "Founding Documents".
