The
South Platte
Kiwanis Club
presented 2010 scholarship awards at Kendallwood Manor on March
17th. The two outstanding students and their parents were guests for
dinner and a brief program during which the students talked about
their goals and shared some highlights about their high school
careers. The two $1000 scholarships were presented to
Jennifer
Metzger
of Park Hill High School and Alyson
Low
of West Platte R-2 High School.
Jennifer Metzger, the daughter of Jack and Jane
Metzger, plans to attend the University of Missouri in Columbia to
study Business and Journalism. Her many school activities include
Marching and Symphonic Bands, as well as the school's Jazz Band. She
graduated first in the Class of 2010. She also found time for lots of
volunteering during her years at Park Hill.
Alyson Low, daughter of Scott and Michele Low,
plans to attend William Jewell College in Liberty where she will
prepare for Nursing and Pre-Med. This KCI Scholar Athlete for
2008-2009 also was active in Debate and Science Club, along with many
volunteer projects and holding down a job. Alyson placed fourth in
her graduating class.
South Platte Kiwanis Club is proud to be able to
honor these two outstanding students
