First Grader Avacyn Kuehl Wins National First Place AMVETS Flag Contest

Avacyn Kuehl, one of our first-grade students, has secured the first-place award in the AMVETS National Americanism Flag contest for the kindergarten category. This achievement marks a significant milestone as the first time in recent memory that a student from New London has clinched this prestigious national honor. The award presentation ceremony occurred yesterday in the Emanuel Lutheran School commons, before Avacyn's enthusiastic classmates. New London AMVETS Post 45 Commander Armin Conradt presented the award, adding a special touch to this remarkable event.

Avacyn entered the contest as a kindergarten student last year and recently won at the post and state levels, moving her work onto the national level.

Emanuel Lutheran Church and School wholeheartedly congratulates Avacyn Kuehl on her outstanding achievement and wishes her the Lord’s richest blessings on her creative endeavors.
