Trae Tingelstad
Tingelstad, who is the senior class president, is involved in DECA, track and tennis. In December, he was part of a student team that delivered and donated 10,000 pounds of potatoes to the Marysville Community Food Bank. Tingelstad hopes to attend the University of Washington to study business and entrepreneurship.
Both students are members of the MP High School National Honor Society Chapter.
Lake Stevens student wins scholarship
Madisen Cordell, a student at Lake Stevens High School, was named a Pacific Lutheran University President’s Scholar and awarded a scholarship of $30,000 per year.
Cordell is one of 123 students selected for the scholarship based on accomplishments in academic achievement, community engagement and co-curricular leadership.
“These students embody what it means to be a Lute,” said PLU President Allan Belton. “They are already working toward leading lives of thoughtful inquiry, service, leadership and care. I am excited to see how PLU can guide them toward a vocation that will allow them to use those skills to make an impact.”
