Kendall Slaughter, a current junior at SCHS and the reigning United States of Americaโs Teen Kentucky 2024, presented the Spencer County Educational Foundation (SCEF) with a donation of $1,675 at their board meeting on September 9th. While participating in the national United States of Americaโs Teen pageant this July, Kendall was recognized as a Top 6 National Finalist, a Presidential Volunteer Service Award winner and the overall 2024 Peopleโs Choice Award winner. Winners of the Peopleโs Choice Award are given the opportunity to donate a portion of the awardโs proceeds to a charity or non-profit organization of their choice. Kendall chose the SCEF as the recipient of her award donation and shared the following:
โAs the daughter of two educators and as a Spencer County student, I have seen firsthand how much this organization has done for our school district in its first 5 short years of existence. It is my honor to present these funds to the SCEF. Rest assured that I will continue to support the amazing work that the SCEF is doing and I want to thank each of you for your dedication to students like me. You truly are making a difference!โ
Thank you, Kendall, for choosing to bless the SCEF with this kind and generous donation!
