...and her legacy lives on.
The Peer Leaders of Lawrence County CTC have established the Jeri Palumbo Memorial Scholarship to honor her life. Generous donations have been collected and these funds will help students continue their studies after high school -- one of her passions in life.
Another passion in life was walking. When the weather wasn't conducive to taking a brisk, purposeful stroll outdoors, she could often be found winding her way through the mile of hallway we have here in the school.
What better way to pay tribute to her that to walk for a cause? On Thursday, April 28th at 1:15, we will join together for a 5K walk/run. Typically, there would be an entrance fee for a "race" like this, but this time, it will be free for all who participate -- although donations to the scholarship will be welcomed.
Students can sign up during lunches, and t-shirts are available for $10.
Sign up and purchase your t-shirt today!
Anyone who would like to make a donation can do so by making a check made out to the Lawrence Community Foundation. Indicate in the memo: Jeri Palumbo Memorial Scholarship. Checks are to be sent to Lawrence County Career & Technical Center, Peer Leadership, Att. Dave Blank, 750 Phelps Way, New Castle, PA 16101.
