The Liberty Kiwanis Club is proud to present three $750 college scholarships to three deserving Key Club members.  We chose these students based on their community involvement, Key Club volunteerism, and excellent grade point averages.  The winners are Brittany Hammer, Mike Ryan, & Abbi Sandweiss.

She wants to start a Circle K at her new school!

 The South Platte Kiwanis Club presented 2010 scholarship awards at Kendallwood Manor on March 17th.  The two outstanding students and their parents were guests for dinner and a brief program during which the students talked about their goals and shared some highlights about their high school careers.   The two $1000 scholarships were presented to Jennifer Metzger of Park Hill High School and Alyson Low of  West Platte R-2 High School. 
     Jennifer Metzger, the daughter of Jack and Jane Metzger, plans to attend the University of Missouri in Columbia to study Business and Journalism.  Her many school activities include Marching and Symphonic Bands, as well as the school's Jazz Band. She graduated first in the Class of  2010. She also found time for lots of volunteering during her years at Park Hill.
      Alyson Low, daughter of Scott and Michele Low, plans to attend William Jewell College in Liberty where she will prepare for Nursing and Pre-Med. This KCI Scholar Athlete for 2008-2009 also was active in Debate and Science Club, along with many volunteer projects and holding down a job.  Alyson placed fourth in her graduating class.
