Pelham Middle Schooler A Winner In Essay Contest
Her essay was chosen from among hundreds entered in The Constitutional.
From Pelham Middle School: Pelham Middle School 7th grader Julia Findikyan was named a winner of The Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia’s American Freedom Essay Contest. Julia’s essay, titled “What Freedom Means To Me,” was chosen as a winner in the Middle School Category from hundreds of submissions and focused on the freedom of assembly and her experience participating in the “March for Our Lives” in New York City in 2018.
This past September, all students in Jeannine Salman and Kevin Miller’s 7th grade social studies classes participated in the essay project as part of Constitution Day. For the project, students were asked to pick a freedom that resonates with them and conduct research as to how that particular freedom improves people’s lives before writing an essay on that topic. Julia’s essay may be read on the Pelham Middle School website. More information on the Essay contest is available on the Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia website.
