2024 CARSON SCHOLARS!!! Addison Foss (KMHS) has been named for the first time as a Carson Scholar. Addison will win a $1,000 college scholarship as part of her award. Emma Manion (HS^2) and Reese Albert (KMHS) were recognized by the Carson Scholars organization for their continued achievement and humanitarian efforts in our community. They are repeat applicants, so are recognized each year they apply. They do not win a scholarship again, but it says a great deal about these young ladies that they continue that same level of commitment to the organization. The Carson Scholars Fund awards scholars in grades 4-11 who demonstrate the highest standard of academic achievement, integrity, and civic and social responsibility.

SHOUT OUT TO CLUE CAST AND CREW!!! I cannot say enough about the quality of this show! If you saw it, you are probably still talking about it.

BRAVO!!!!!!
