Five Mifflinburg Area High School students who wrote outstanding essays exploring ways to make their community greener and more environmentally friendly have been honored by the Merrill W. Linn Land & Waterways Conservancy. The Conservancy, sponsor of the Smart Neighborhood Plan contest, awarded certificates and cash prizes to the students, who will all be seniors at Mifflinburg this fall.
Shane Kiefer and Jacob Puterbaugh who collaborated on “Changing Union County for a Greener Way of Living” received first place honors. Haydn Derr and Evan Decker took second place with their “Stay Green!” essay. Jade Enders’s essay, “A Greener Union,” received third place. The essays were judged on the basis of creative thinking, content accuracy and clear writing. The students worked under the direction of Mifflinburg Area High School’s Stacy Reitenbach.
