Susie Stringham-Kreis was honored to award the 5th David Kreis Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $2,000 last night at Sandburg High School to Makenzie Prah! Makenzie is going to be studying Kinesiology at The University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Fall. We are so proud of Makenzie and cannot wait to see her achieve her goals.
