Maria Lea wins DAR Citizenship Medal

Decorah Middle School 8th grader Maria Lea has been presented the Daughters of the American Revolution Youth Citizenship Medal.  Decorah Middle School teachers chose Maria for the honor.  She received the medal from Mrs. Mona Day, a regent of the Hannah Lee Chapter of the National Daughters of the American Revolution.
 
The DAR Youth Citizenship Medal was established to foster among
schoolchildren a greater appreciation of the qualities of citizenship
Americans must possess if our country is to remain sovereign and
independent.  This medal is presented to a student who exemplifies the
qualities of honor, service, courage, leadership, and patriotism.
