Mrs. Shegog's 8th grade U.S. History class used their creative abilities to demonstrate their understanding of the Civil War through the creation of political cartoons. The students' cartoons that met the requirements of the assignment were entered into a friendly competition. An unnamed judge selected the top 3 cartoons. The winners of the competition are Bradley Close (EMS) - 1st place, Livya Vikraman (MMS) - 2nd place, and Kenija Brown (CMS) - 3rd place. Each of the winners will receive a prize. #LawtonPS #LVAanywhere #GSC #DLC
