Mount Vernon Club Recognizes High Schoolers

by Bruce Malkin

At the Awards Assembly at Mount Vernon High School on June 17, Mount Vernon Kiwanis Club (MVKC) President Bruce Malkin and Vice President and President-Elect Kahan Dhillon presented three students (Edom Seifu, Rabia Javed, and Brittany Pruitt) who are leaders of the school's Kiwanis Key Club with scholarships ranging from $750-1500 for use during their first year at college. These scholarships to Key Club leaders sponsored by the MVKC are in addition to the two each that were already awarded this year to Key Club students at West Potomac High School (Michael Lagana and Sandra Vargas) and South County Secondary School (Stephen Kim and Lauren Boudreau). For more information on how you may participate in this scholarship program and many other community service projects in our area, please see the MVKC website at www.mtvernonvakiwanis.org and the MVKC FaceBook page.
