Congratulations to Stella Gillam, a sixth grade student at Independence Middle School in Jupiter, for winning state-wide recognition for her essay called, "Free Fallin Into History."

The Florida Department of Education hosted the America250FL Essay and Art Contest. Students were invited to submit their work based on the theme, "celebrating Florida's contributions to America."

We are so proud to celebrate Stella for being one of only eight middle and high school winners from across the state. She received a 2-year Florida College Plan scholarship. Great work Stella!
