Every year the Ladybugs Garden Club present a $1,500 scholarship to a worthy senior residing in Memorial Northwest. This can be a senior from Klein High School, Klein Oak (International Baccalaureate program), a private Christian school, or homeschooled senior, going to college, vocational school, or trade school. The Ladybugs are always excited for our scholarship winners.
This year’s winner is Grace (Gray) Jones from Klein High School who is going to Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas to study Studio Art within the Fine Arts and Communication department. She has lived in Memorial Northwest for 8-1/2 years. Gray has already developed quite the art portfolio. Through her art, it becomes obvious that she is a deep and bright thinker. To appreciate her art, one must look deeply into the details. She comes highly recommended by the KHS School Counselor and the Art Department Chair.
Gray is noted for her community work, which is important to her and which she ardently desires to continue throughout her life. These include festivals, local shelters, her church Saint Dunstan’s Episcopal Church, fundraisers, children’s events such as children’s art festivals, local art vendor festivals, children’s art nights at the library, murals for local businesses and many more. At Klein, Gray was a member of the National Honor Society, National Art Honor Society, Historian of Kats Create (a craft club), Saint Dunstan’s Youth Group and Acolyte Corps., a State Qualifier at VASE art competition, the Key Club, and her favorite diversion in Horseback Riding lessons and shows. All of that sounds like so much fun.
Ms. Gray Jones, congratulations on your win!! All of the Ladybugs wish you an abundance of success, lots of creativity, fun, and broadening of your mind going forward.
