Congratulations to 6th grader Marlowe Barnes--a National Champion!
After her 1st place win in the Daughters of the American Revolution 6th grade American History Essay Contest at the local level, she then placed first at state, first at the South Central Division level, and now we know she won 1st place at the National level, too! She will attend the DAR Continental Congress in Washington, D.C., in June, where she will be recognized and give a speech at the DAR Constitution Hall in front of 4,000 members and distinguished guests!
WOW! Way to go, Marlowe! A national champion! That is incredible!
This moment right here shows the true meaning of sisterhood at Talkington. Amarachi Uche-Eboh was named Miss THS, and the other candidates--Myranda Burchfield, Taylor Harrison, Ella Christianson, and Noura Islam-- jumped for joy. They ran over to hug her and celebrate her success. Pure joy for for their sister. It still brings tears to our eyes . This is absolutely what it means to be a Warrior.
