For six years, sixth grade students have participated in the John Mitchell Essay Contest! On Friday, the winners of the contest were recognized by members of the Friends of Urbanna. This year's first place winner is Caden Spurlock! This year, 15 students were recognized. The top four essays received a certificate along with prize money and a large chocolate bar.
Students visited the Town of Urbanna Visitors Center Museum and were then fortunate to have a special visit from Dr. Robusto to further their education about the Mitchell Map.
