Knights of Columbus Poster and Essay Contest Winners

Congratulations to Zaylee Troutman, Hugo Huang, and Kennedi Breedlove for winning the K of C poster contest. The theme was Keeping Christ in Christmas. During the presentation, Knights Mr. Furphy and Mr. Botzman explained how they presented the poster entries to some of the area nursing homes, and how much the residents loved them. One resident went as far as taping a poster to her walker, and displaying it throughout the Christmas season.

Additionally, the Knights held their annual essay contest. This year's topic was, "discuss the meaning of virtue and how you live and embody the virtue of charity." Kennedi Breedlove was awarded first place! Nice job Kennedi!
