More Good News ~ Three local high school seniors were awarded scholarships from PAL in 2011:
    Crysta Oslin, PHS, received $1500 to pursue her dream of becoming an illustrator / concept artist.
    Grace Chakerian and Kelly Williams, GHHS, each received $750 toward their arts studies. Grace is interested in creating new art styles and techniques. Kelly wants to study graphic design and perhaps become an art teacher.
