The Exchange Club of Springfield honored the Youth of the Year, Leah Parker of Southeastern HS, with the $1,000 College Scholarship and Plaque. Miss Parker read her winning essay and it sounded even better than before. The A.C.E. Award was presented to Miranda Sorenson, of Kenton Ridge High School, who will receive the $1,000 Scholarship that attends the honor. Ms. Sorenson, in the spirit of the award, has carved a bright future for herself after trials that have humbled and defeated countless others.
Many thanks to Steve Klipfel and Jerry Sewell for their work on bringing these Youth Projects to a successful conclusion.
