ST. MARY MAGDALEN STUDENT AWARDED THE MAVERICK KNIGHT SCHOLARSHIP

Emily, a graduating 8th grader from St. Mary Magdalen was selected to receive the Maverick Knight Scholarship. Emily was chosen for living the mission of both St. Mary Magdalen and Holy Cross. The Holy Cross Admissions Committee was impressed with what words she used to describe herself. Caring, selfless, and confident. You can find these elements present in our Holy Cross Code. Emily has dreams to pursue either the legal or medical fields. We look forward to having her at Holy Cross this next year!

America has a long and proud tradition of volunteer service. Now, more than ever, volunteers are renewing their commitment to help others and making new connections that bring us closer together as families, as neighbors, as communities and as a nation.  The President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation (the Council) was established in 2003 to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers are making in our communities and encourage more people to serve. The Council created the President’s Volunteer Service Award program as a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.   Recognizing and honoring volunteers sets a standard for service, encourages a sustained commitment to civic participation and inspires other to make service a central part of their lives.  The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes United States citizens and lawfully admitted permanent residents of the United States who have achieved the required number of hours of service. (from the President’s Volunteer Service Award website)
