The Fishers Sertoma Club recently continued its annual Freedom Essay Contest, which asked area fifth grade students to submit essays on the subject “What Freedom Means to Me.”

The club’s two grand prize winners were St. Louis de Montfort fifth grader Alexandria Gregor and Riverside Intermediate fifth grader Anna Pettitt.

Other contest winners included St. Simon the Apostle fifth grader Caterine Joven, Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate fifth grader Evan Orton and Fall Creek Intermediate fifth grader Shermin Abbaspour.

The Fishers Sertoma Club was chartered in 2001 with the goal of making a difference in the lives of people in Hamilton Co. Among the group’s focus are hearing impaired and deaf needs, while also supporting Prevail, Lutherwood Family Services, Come To Me Food Pantry. This year a graduating student from Hamilton Southeastern High School and Fishers High School will each be awarded a $1,000 scholarship to support their college education in hearing health.
