Two from Lynnwood given scholarships
Two students from Lynnwood High School — Daniela Murgula and Megan Longfellow — received $5,000 college scholarships because of their connection with Junior Achievement and because “they have gone from surviving to thriving,” said LHS marketing teacher Don Ide.
Students from Lynnwood High worked at Safeco Field as part of a national campaign cosponsored by Junior Achievement and Taco Bell in cooperation with the Seattle Mariners. Students wore caps and gowns to ask other students to make pledges to stay in school through graduation.
Megan also spoke to 500 business leaders at the Dare to Dream Auction at Safeco Field and received a standing ovation. Daniela will be presenting at Biz Town in Yakima this spring.
