One dreams of becoming a high school band director. The second plans to study neuroscience, especially how the brain and memory work. The third wants to be an astronomer and continue his ongoing research into dark matter.
All three — Madison Walker, Claire Laux and Alexander Green — also are winners of the Lions Club of Kent’s John Ferlito Memorial Scholarship. The Ferlito scholarships recognize stellar graduating Roosevelt High School students who have “demonstrated outstanding service in the community and volunteering.” Normally, the Lions Club awards two Ferlito scholarships. This year, a third $500 award is due to the one-time generosity of a private endowment.
