Eighth grader Dejaniria F. was presented the Mother McAuley 2011 Principal Scholarship by McAuley Director of Admissions Kathyrn Klyczek after mass in front of the entire school...and her proud mom!
Dejaniria was one of six incoming McAuley freshmen awarded the scholarship and the first St. Ethelreda student ever to receive it after several annual submissions from many of our well-qualified eight graders. She wrote a winning essay about being a leader and the school activities she participates in including leadership and student council.
In January, Dejaniria also attended the weeklong Young Leaders of America conference in Washington D.C. that she paid for herself. Along with glowing recommendations from Principal Spells and the First Lady of her church, she was chosen as a well-deserved recipient.
We wish Dejaniria the best at Mother McAuley and look forward to her continued success as one of St. Ethelreda's brightest leaders of today...and tomorrow.
That's really awesome news.
