Scholarship

A few weeks ago Kelsey got a letter from the Ronald McDonald house charities informing her her scholarship essay had been selected as a winner.  Last night we attended the banquet award ceremony for her in Reno.  As you can see along with the excitement there was delicious food that Chase and Sadi were not shy about digging into.
The committee said their essays had to be read several times to be selected, and were chosen because of their stories. They also announced at the ceremony that this was a renewable scholarship for the four years she would be attending school if she were to re-apply and keep the required G.P.A.  So happy that this girl is finally seeing some benefits to all her hard work.
It was a really fun night, and exciting to see all of these kids win such an honor.  Kelsey was the only recipient from Dayton High. 
She's getting a little bit closer to her goal everyday!
