Newport youth wins America’s Field Trip Contest
NEWPORT – Newport’s Kodyann Lawrence earned first place in the nationwide America’s Field Trip Contest, selected as one of 125 first place winners from across the country.
Her award-winning song, “Grandpa’s Photo,” honors the gift of freedom provided by the brave men and women who have served the United States. Her message stood out among entries from students representing 42 states and three U.S. territories, reflecting on themes of freedom, service, perseverance, community and opportunity.
As part of her award, Lawrence earned an all-expenses- paid 3-day, 2-night trip to Washington, D.C. for herself and an adult, along with a little spending money. Both her parents and her brother intend to accompany her on this trip.
