Greetings TRNA Residents,  

The Education Committee reviewed ten scholarship applications received this spring from students attending five different high schools.  They were asked to write an essay focused on neighborhood: the benefits of living in Taylor Ranch, what a strong community looks like, and how they will be contributing neighbors in their future. Our local schools, parks, programs, petroglyphs, and bosque were all praised, the importance of neighborliness was acknowledged, and a sense of safety was noted by everyone. They described a strong community that provides opportunities to support one another where all voices will be heard and included. This next generation intends to give back by carrying forward the concepts of connection and advocacy. Taylor Ranch can be very proud of the children we are raising.

The committee carefully reviewed the applications. We had the funds to award one scholarship, which was presented to Alynna Dyer at the annual meeting. She is an ambitious STEM scholar, and when she graduates this spring she will also be receiving her associate's degree in Biology, beginning her path to becoming a medical doctor. 

Congratulations Alynna!
