Harbor School VFW essay recipients

Harbor School students had a great showing in the recent VFW “Patriot’s Pen” essay contest, earning places in all middle school grades.  The awards ceremony, held at the Harbor School right before the Midwinter Break, was an opportunity to acknowledge the work these students had done.  Stella Harrison placed third amongst island sixth graders.  In the seventh grade, Julia Ellison and Cleo Hudson earned second and third places, respectively, amongst island students.  The best showing came from the Harbor School eighth graders, who swept the awards.  Julian White-Davis earned third place, Björn Lynge earned second place, and Stuart Kraabel took first, going on to represent Vashon at the district level.  He took second place there.  Congratulations to all Harbor School students.
