Watson/Glover Memorial Scholarship
at
Pattonville High School
The Lambert Airport Rotary Club
Watson-Glover Memorial Scholarship focuses on demonstrated commitment to
community service. Both of this year’s recipients have been extremely active
in service projects during their four years at PHS and have accumulated more
than 200 hours of community service. The
Club awarded two $500 scholarships
to Pattonville Class of 2001 graduates who have provided outstanding service to
the Pattonville community. Pat and Fletcher
awarded our scholarships to Wendy Link and Abby Webb at the Senior Honors
Program on May 23.
Wendy Link, daughter of Myra Link of
St. Louis County, coordinated the fifth annual AIDS Awareness Day held at PHS in
March. She has been active at the JCCA and as a Pattonville 5th Grade Camp
counselor for three years. Her goals are to become a Registered Physical
Therapist and to appear as a dancer in Broadway musicals. Wendy says that she has devoted time "to
activities that help others; and in the process of working together, we all
learn so much." The hard work and effort "have been worthwhile and
makes me happy, more confident, and better prepared to be a successful
leader." Wendy has served on the Metropolitan St. Louis Teens Care Panel
as the PHS representative this year.
Wendy
is hoping to attend Hofstra University in New York in the fall. She
collected honors and scholarships as follows: Cum laude; Community Service Honor Cord; PHS
Community Service Scholarship, Chevron; Watson-Glover Memorial Scholarship; and
the Student Council Scholarship.
Abby Webb, daughter of John and Pam
Webb of Maryland Heights, plans a career in Communications, Journalism, and
counseling. She has been a member of the S.T.A.R.S. program all four years of
high school and has served as Secretary of the PHS orchestra for three years. A
member of the National Honor Society, Abby has been a cheerleader and a member
of the Principal’s Academic Advisory Committee. Abby states that "service
to the community has made me a more open-minded person who realizes that
everyone needs to be reached. This has persuaded me to pursue a Master’s
degree in high school counseling." Abby has shown great leadership as a
volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House and the Hope Center for Abused Children.
She plans to participate in service projects while in college and after she
graduates. She states: "I plan to help others and be aware of global
issues."
