Congratulations to Kelsey Settles, 7th grader at OCMS, for winning 1st place in the middle school division of the National March for Life poem, poster, essay contest!!Kelsey's poster was created around the theme "Stand Up Now! - Unite for the Life Principles - No Exception! No Compromise!" Kelsey's family is invited to stay in Washington and attend the Rose dinner after the March. Kelsey will also be introduced on the main stage at the March as the winner of the middle school division of the poster, poem, and essay contest. Also the Owensboro Right to Life will receive $100 in the name of Kelsey Settles from the National Right to Life Defense Fund.Kelsey's parents are Chris and Sandy Settles. The Right to Life March is attended annually by a group of about 40 students each year that are active members of the OCMS Fellowship of Christian Athletes organization. The sponsors of FCA are David Ralph, OCS Technology Coordinator, and Mark Woodward, OCMS faculty member. Mary Cheshire, another OCMS teacher, helped chaperone the trip last year and this year as well.

This is the second time an OCMS student has won the national title. Two years ago, Ryne Wilson won the National title and Sean Brown was the national runner-up.

Way to go OCMS! We pray as the group attends the March for Life in Washington DC this week.
