Also
awarded were Savastano (Taylor Ministries Making a Difference Scholarship,
$500); Wright (Taylor Public Schools Educational Foundation Scholarship, $500);
Houston James (Taylor School District Alumni Scholarship, $500, and Total
Credit Union Scholarship, $500); Breanna Swain (Women’s Auxiliary of the

The
annual scholarships were a key part of a much bigger program for the events,
which also highlighted awards for the Principal’s Advisory Panel, Link Crew,
Key Club and academic awards.
As
is tradition at Kennedy, the end of the program marked the change over from the
Class of 2017 to the Class of 2018.
Congratulations
