At our April 19th meeting, we had our Student and Teacher of the month from Bartlett High School. Selena Aspen-Neyland is a senior and is very anxious to get "on with it." She is a lifelong Alaskan and attended Wonder Park and Begich Schools. She received $200 to help with her expenses at UAA in the nursing program. She is involved in music and sports. On April 19th, she had 30 minutes between her soccer game and choir concert. "Lots of time" she said.
Laura Blackwood is the Director of the above-mentioned concert. She has been at Bartlett for two years and has 5 choir classes with 250 students total. She "loves to see the progress that is happening at Bartlett.” Laura is from Dallas via Liberty University. She received $250 to help with her classroom expenses.
East Anchorage Rotary Vocational Committee has been doing this at Bartlett and East for about 40 years. We also give scholarships at both schools.
