Over 1500 fifth graders, teachers and chaperones from area schools attended one of three historic interpreters’ performances of Lewis and Clark last month, sponsored by the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America. Two fifth graders from area schools, Andrea Reyes, Stockton Elementary School, and Alice Creed, Riverside Presbyterian Day School, were among several who received awards from an essay contest titled “How did Lewis and Clark’s exploration influence the growth of our country?” The certificates were signed by the speakers in character; William Clark was portrayed by Steven Edenbo and Douglas Thomas was costumed as Meriwether Lewis.
