On June 3, the Westbrook Elks Lodge presented the annual Americanism awards to Westbrook Middle School students at a pasta dinner for the recipients and their families.

The annual essay contest is open to Westbrook, Old Saybrook, and Clinton Middle School students. This year’s theme was “What Makes You Proud of America?”
