A West Central Valley Middle School student recently won a statewide contest organized by the Iowa League of Cities.
Rylee Krantz was named as a regional winner of the ‘If I Were a Mayor’ essay contest. Krantz and three other regional winners were invited to the Capitol Building on Tuesday to meet Governor Terry Branstad, Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds and receive a plaque and $250 scholarship during an awards ceremony. Krantz’s essay was one of nearly 900 received by the League of Cities for this year’s contest.
