Student Shout-outs!
We are thrilled to celebrate our very own Allison Jeffries (7th Grade) as a 2021 Carson Scholarship recipient! Allison was nominated for the award in December, and completed an application process which included: an essay, teacher recommendations, and community engagement survey. The Carson Scholars Fund awards college scholarships to students who excel academically and are dedicated to serving their communities. Through Allison's focus on academic excellence and her commitment to giving back to the community through service projects as part of her involvement with Scouts, Allison was a perfect candidate for the honor. We received confirmation last week that Allison was awarded the scholarship, and we couldn't be more proud! Allison will be honored at a ceremony in Fall 2021, she will receive a personalized medal, and Creston will be provided with a Carson Scholars trophy to be displayed in her honor. Please join us in congratulating Allison on this OUTSTANDING achievement!

Special thanks to Mr. Hauck for supporting Allison's nomination for this scholarship!
