The money raised from last weekend’s pickle ball tournament helps us support scholarships for many wonderful programs in the community. Here we highlight one that we have supported since its inception: Rivertown Dance Academy (RDA).
RDA has been teaching dance students and enthusiasts from age 18 months to 88 years old for years, serving primarily the Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow communities. Their offerings include ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern dance and creative movement.
Kids’ Club has supported RDA’s mission that “everyone, regardless of ability to pay, should have the opportunity to pursue high-quality and comprehensive dance education” by providing scholarship funds for qualifying students in our community.
We value this partnership and look forward to RDA’s continued presence and growth as a provider of dance education of the highest quality to the children of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.
Last night at Sleepy Hollow High School’s Academic Awards event, Kids’ Club was proud to present three college bound seniors, William G., Andrea J. and Carol T., with scholarship awards of $1,500 each. The scholarships were established by Kids’ Club in 2014, and have been given out annually since then based on need, merit and character. The recipients were selected by SHHS faculty after submitting personal essays and letters of recommendation. Congratulations to the scholarship winners! We wish you the best of luck at Bard, SUNY New Paltz and SUNY Buffalo!
Adding to the two scholarships we already had established, this year Kids’ Club was proud to support a third scholarship for college-bound seniors from Sleepy Hollow High School. The recipients of the scholarships, based on character, merit and need, were announced on June 5 at SHHS’s Academic Awards Night. We offer our congratulations to Adanelys L., Aranxa A. and Paola R., the well-deserving students selected by the SHHS Guidance Department as this year’s scholarship winners. We wish these outstanding young women all the best as they head off to Western Connecticut College, Lehman College and Westchester Community College in the fall to pursue careers in education, veterinary medicine and psychology. Best of luck to you all!
Congratulations to the 2016 Kids’ Club Scholarship winners: Daniel C. and Mayely V. These two Sleepy Hollow High School seniors were chosen from a large group of applicants and will receive $1,500 each toward their college expenses. In the Fall, Daniel will be attending Florida’s Atlantic University to study civil engineering, and Mayely will be attending Siena College in Albany to study marketing. We wish them both the best of luck as they graduate this week and take the next step in pursuit of their academic and career goals.
Congratulations to Sleepy Hollow High School seniors Evans M. and Pauline S. (shown here with Kids’ Club Director Jane Franke-Molner) on being selected as the 2015 recipients of Kids’ Club’s $1500 Scholarships! The scholarships, based on character, merit and need, were awarded to these outstanding students at the SHHS Academic Awards Program. Pauline and Evans, Kids’ Club wishes you all the best at college and beyond!
