Each school year the Daughters of the American Revolution honor High School Seniors with a Good Citizen Award. The high school counselor submits the name of a student that they feel exemplifies those qualities of a good citizen. These students can then choose to write an essay to enter into the Scholarship Contest. The Marion Linn Chapter of the Iowa DAR has nine schools within our area. Five of those schools participated this year. The following students were honored March 26 at an awards presentation.
Claire Gaffney, daughter of Lane and Dawn Gaffney, from Mount Vernon High School was honored as a DAR Good Citizen. Other area students honored were Reagan Schneiter, daughter of Ron and Jackie Schneiter, from Monticello, Rayna Brandenburg, daughter of Jason and Jamie Brandenburg, from Springville High School; Gracie Franzen, daughter of Scott and Amber Franzen, from Midland, and Brittney Comer, daughter of Brian and Lisa Comer, from Linn Mar High School.
