ACT 6 scholarship awarded
West Valley High School senior Anthony Rice is the recipient of the ACT 6 scholarship, a full-ride to either Gonzaga or Whitworth University. Rice, who will be attending Whitworth, competed against 101 students from 24 area high schools in the three-phase selection process.
Phase 1 involved completing an application, which consists of four essays, two letters of recommendation, test scores, transcripts and a FAFSA forecaster. Students were brought together in Phase 2 so evaluators could see how they worked in groups.
In Phase 3, semifinalists were admitted to the university they were in the running for and stayed on campus for two-and-a-half days, wrote another essay and completed one-on-one interviews, group activities and faculty discussions.
‘Living Museum’ set at NWC
Fifth-graders at Northwest Christian will host a “Living Museum” on Wednesday beginning at 9 a.m. at the school’s lower campus gym, 5104 E. Bernhill Road, Colbert.
During Living Museum, students wear costumes to represent what was worn during the Revolutionary War era of 1775-1789 and give a prepared speech.
After the event, students participate in colonial dancing and arts and crafts from that era.
CV Grad Night benefit planned
The Central Valley High School Grad Night committee will sponsor the Feb. 26 performance of “Nunsense A-Men!” at the Spokane Civic Theatre, 1020 N. Howard St.
In “Nunsense,” the Little Sisters of Hoboken decide to put on a variety show to raise money for burials after it’s discovered that their cook, Sister Julia, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters. This show has been performed more than 5,000 times around the world.
Before the show, which begins at 7:30 p.m., there will be cocktails, a silent auction and complimentary appetizers, as well as free parking. Funds raised at this performance go toward Grad Night, a safe and sober celebration for the class of 2015.
To purchase tickets, which are $35 and include admission and appetizers, contact the Grad Night committee at 2015cvhsgradnight@gmail.com, (509) 216-9697 or via their Facebook page – CV GradNight.
