MIFORD -- Two Milford School eighth-graders took first place in a video competition celebrating the legacy of Abraham Lincoln on the anniversary of his 200th birthday. The contest was sponsored by the Young Lawyers Division of the N.J. State Bar Association. In addition to receiving $250, Bethany Wright and Lindsey Thompson were honored at an awards ceremony at the Hughes Justice Center in Trenton on Law Day, May 1. Attorney General Anne Milgram and Chief Justice Stuart Rabner congratulated them for having the best middle school video. About 75 schools participated in the "Law Day 2009 YouTube Video Contest" in middle- and high-school categories, said Milford Principal Maggie Culley. The videos could be up to three minutes long. They were judged on originality, creativity, adherence to the theme -- "A Legacy of Liberty: Celebrating Lincoln's Bicentennial" -- and quality. After researching Lincoln's life, Bethany and Lindsey wrote a short screen play, drafted family members as actors, and edited the video and digital material. "Bethany and Lindsey are dedicated students who took on this challenge very seriously," said Ms. Cully.
