YOAKUM – The Republican Women of the Yoakum Area are extending a warm invitation to all community members and visitors for a special celebration of civic engagement and student achievement. Their Constitution Essay Award Ceremony will be held on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at the Yoakum Community Center, located at 105 Huck Street.
Doors will open at 11:00 AM, with a luncheon to follow. The event will feature a keynote address by Justice Jon West, who serves on the 13th Court of Appeals, Place 5. His remarks are expected to highlight the enduring relevance of the U.S. Constitution and the importance of youth participation in civic discourse.
The ceremony will honor local students who submitted outstanding essays reflecting on constitutional principles, leadership, and the responsibilities of citizenship. Organizers say the event is designed not only to recognize academic excellence but also to inspire broader community reflection on the values that shape American democracy.
The luncheon is generously sponsored by the Republican Women of the Yoakum Area. While admission is free, donations are appreciated to support future educational initiatives.
“This is a moment to celebrate thoughtful writing, civic pride, and the voices of our next generation,” said a spokesperson for the organization. “We hope the entire community will join us in recognizing these young leaders.”
