On behalf of the Dream Big Scholarship Committee (Fr. John, Becky Flood Hall, Andrew & Janice Flood and Barbara England), Father John presented a $2,050.00 scholarship to parishioner Allison Ann Thress.
During last Sunday’s service, Alli gave a heartfelt talk in which she mentioned her future plans and spoke of her St. Mary Anne’s involvement. To summarize:
Allison recently graduated from Perryville High School. She achieved distinguished honors which earned her an academic scholarship to St. Mary’s College and Salisbury University. Alli plans to study International Business and Marketing at St. Mary’s College of Maryland this fall. She plans to study abroad to continue her foreign language studies in Spanish and Japanese.
Allison is so thankful for the scholarship and all the support she has received from Saint Mary Anne’s church community. The value of this support can’t begin to be measured and will serve as a strong foundation for her future!
As our first “Technology Acolyte”, Allison played an integral part in preparing and recording our Sunday services for our You Tube Channel! Each Sunday, she sets up the recording device and microphones. After the service, she edits and inserts the Virtual choir hymn with lyrics. Then, she uploads it to our YouTube channel. Alli also has, along with her sister Leah, read children’s stories from The Jesus Story Book Bible for our YouTube channel. Allison is the daughter of Shelly Ray & Joel Alarcon.
