TCMS students won many awards in The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Junior American Citizens annual competition.  There were thirty-eight winners from Thomas County Middle School for the Thomasville chapter. Thirteen of those winners took first place and advanced to state competition in January. This year’s theme was  “The 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment--American Women Rise and Shine.”  Students were able to compete in the following categories: poster, stamp design, photo essay, banner, poem, short story, or community service.
