INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Association of Indiana Counties (AIC) and SRI, Inc. have named a local fourth-grader as the National County Government Week essay contest winner for the AIC’s Southeast District.
Samiksha Singh’s essay was chosen over entries from other fourth-graders in the district. Singh, a Richards Elementary School student, received $100 for winning. One winner was chosen in each of the AIC’s six districts.
This year’s theme was “Celebrate your County’s History.” Essays were judged on how well students focused on a person, event, or thing related to their county’s history.
