Osceola School District #1

11th graders awarded Scholarships / OHS Two 11th graders given scholarships while walking away with the 2022-2023 Youth leadership award! Winners Kadan Newson, BreAnn Fultz-Foster, Damia Grice, and Alyssa Crafton created a service project that would help their High school! These students led a club all school year to help students learn how to operate machines like drones & sublimation printers. All while attending monthly leadership workshops these students presented a grant proposal (to purchase machines) and partnered with East Initiative to create more learning experiences for the students at OHS! Kadan and Alyssa went on to enter individual essays during this competition that placed them in 2nd place, each winning college scholarships! Please congratulate these students when you see them! We would like to thank all of the community partners who helped our students develop this amazing project! #brickbybrick
