MARYSVILLE – As 10 high school graduates received scholarships from the Soroptimists Tuesday, speakers talked about how they hoped someday the young women would return and give back.
Nancy Schaut heard a similar message in 1988 when she received a Soroptimist scholarship upon graduating from Marysville-Pilchuck. After graduating from Western Washington University in business administration she eventually did come back to the area in 2005 and joined the Marysville Soroptimists.
She said she hopes the 10 girls take the message to heart. “It impacted me,” Schaut said. “Now I run my own business. People believed in me.” She said Soroptimists is a good organization to belong to.
“You’re not just throwing money away,” she said. “You know you are making an impact in the community. You can see it.” Schaut handed out “Wonder Woman” necklaces to the 10 winners:
•Marysville Getchell – Auria Coons-Hale and Hannah Jones.
•M-P: Melanie Ryan, Angela Stefoglo, Eleanor Wilde, Catherine Baxter, Katelyn Melohusky, Sarah Turral, Sarah Romero, and Cecilia Watson.
Each of the girls received a $1,500 scholarship.
Cadet Lt. Kaitlyn Norris also received a gift from Soroptimists for the M-P Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp program.
Also Tuesday, the Marysville Kiwanis Club introduced this years Boys of the Month, their alternates and other scholarship applicants at the awards ceremonies at MG and M-P.
The club then presented $750 scholarships to Daniel Amador of M-P and Devon Rose of MG, along with $500 scholarships to Kevin Bui of MG and Cameron Code-Muck of M-P.
Mayor Jon Nehring opened the Soroptimists program. “It’s so amazing about our youth today,” he said. “So many activities – from morning to night.”
Marysville School District school board member Chris Nation continued the theme of giving back to the community.
“You are the generation of change,” he said, adding it’s up to them to maintain humanity in a time of decimated resources.
Fellow school board member Pete Lundberg took the giving back theme even further.
“Giving beats receiving,” he said, adding that they feel good right now receiving a scholarship, but that giving “so far surpasses that.”
Last week, the Rotary Club of Marysville gave out its awards, led by Amiya Alcocer with $12,000.
