Kudos for scholars
Three cheers and a hip, hip, hooray to Mandy Chin, Christina Franz, Margaret Iuni, and Christina Fodera of Bishop Kearney High School. The over-achieving students were lauded and feted at an end-of-school year assembly.
Mandy, Christina Franz, and Margaret received awards from the University of Rochester, which places the girls in line for four-year scholarships if they decide to apply there. Separately, they received various commendations for their exemplary academic and extracurricular activities.
Mandy was recognized with the Bausch and Lomb Science Award for Excellence in Science, based on her high scholastic standing in science for the past three years, and her enrollment in physics.
Christina Franz received the Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony Award in recognition of her strong grades and rigorous courses taken in humanities and social sciences.
Margaret received the George Eastman Young Leaders’ Award for demonstrating strong leadership skills in school and community, as well as for achieving academic excellence in challenging courses.
Christina Fodera received the 21st Century Leadership Award from Wells College for her commitment to academic and school leadership, and a $10,000 scholarship to Wells College, if she plans to attend after her graduation in 2014.
Standing O sends out high fives to this topping quartet.
