Monthly Update for March 2003 $5,000 Claes Nobel Academic Scholarship Presentation
Claes presented Laurel with the award during an honors assembly and spoke to the students, parents, and faculty about his faith in the promise and potential of youth and his commitment to world betterment. Claes and the NSHSS staff were welcomed graciously by the Sacred Heart community, including Principal Sister Celeste Marie Botello and Assistant Principal Katy Sadler. Laurel is locally known for her work in organizing the La Canada Community Blood/Bone Marrow Drive, and Claes said of her, "She is already a role model . . . And if you look at her name, Laurel means honor and Angelica --maybe she has wings." Laurel has been accepted to Princeton University, where she plans to major in international relations.

Members submitting the top three proposals will be awarded $1,000, $300, and $200. Service projects will be shared on the web site. All members are eligible to submit proposals, including those who have graduated. The deadline is August 30. Guidelines and application will be posted on the web in the next few weeks.
