The Hendricks Kiwanis recently awarded scholarships to 12 students from the ISD 402 School District. The scholarship recipients are recent graduates of Lincoln HI, Deubrook and Estelline High Schools.
Megan Buller, Peder Digre, Megan Evert, April Lisowski, Brian Lawberg, James Lawberg, Erika Mathison, Danielle Nelson, Miranda Nelson, Monica Nelson, Greg Olson and Kendra Tomaszewski were the recipients of $100 scholarships from the Kiwanis. All were graduates of the Class of 2009, except for Greg Olson, who graduated in 2008.
“We’re playing a little catch up,” said Kiwanis President Duane Hogie. “We decided that rather than awarding two scholarships in the amount of $600 each, we would give these twelve students $100 each.”
The money for the scholarships and other school and community projects comes from fundraising that the Kiwanis does, such as the recent Annual Ice Cream Social held on Friday, Aug. 27, the Annual Belgian Waffle Feed in the spring and the collection of aluminum cans throughout the year.
