More than $3,000 Raised . . .

. . . to fund the first Class of 1959 Scholarship at the May SHSAA Scholarship Banquet.

Our scholarship winner is Samantha Shobe. She was in athletics, Key Club, Fellowship of Christion Athletes and PEERS. Enjoyed playing Varsity Girls' Basketball and Soccer. In 2008 she was the most Improved Player for soccer. She did volunteer work in numerous concession duties and helped the school raise money for organizations such as UNICEFand the Red Cross.

She is planning to attend a four year college and graduate with a nursing degree. "Helping people has always interested me and pursuing a carreer in health care would be a great opportunity."

Thanks to all who supported this effort . . . donor list will be published later.
