The Kiwanis Club of Woodridge held its annual Scholarship Dinner at the Woodridge Family Restaurant, where $1,000 scholarships were awarded to five Fallsburg High School seniors.

The students selected excelled at academics, community service and extra-curricular activities. The awards were given to Gisselle Caballero, daughter of Janice Caballero; Stephanie Perna, daughter of Anthony and Michelle Perna Jr.; Jaidon Ramirez Zeno, son of James and Maria Zeno; Brendon Sapolsky, son of Neil and Jennifer Sapolsky; and Morgan Williams daughter of Maribel Pomales.

These students have great plans for the fall. Morgan will be attending SUNY Oswego, Brendon is interested in a career in producing and will attend SUNY Buffalo majoring in communications. Jaidon is interested in architecture and plans to attend SUNY Buffalo. Stephanie will attend SUNY Brockport, majoring in exercise science and Giselle is interested in pre-med and will attend SUNY Albany.

The Kiwanis Club of Woodridge started the scholarship program in 2000 with two $250 scholarships. With the hard work of the membership and the generosity of the community, the program has grown to the point that the Club now awards five $,1000 scholarships annually. To date, $64,900 has been distributed.
