Our Scholarship Committee (Becky Flood, Andrew & Janice Flood, Andrea Pugh and Father John) are pleased to announce this year’s Dream Big Scholarship recipient: Benigna Polanco. The scholarship award is $1452.00.
Benigna is the daughter of 10AM parishioners Kristen & Roger Polanco and granddaughter to Anne and Clinton Graybeal. She is a lifelong parishioner, confirmed in 2019, and an Altar Guild member. She will graduate this month from Kennard Dale High School and plans to begin her undergraduate studies at Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA as a History major.
Benigna will offer her senior talk during Sunday’s 10AM service announcement time.

St Mary Anne’s Dream Big Scholarship was established in 2017 with a generous $25,000 memorial donation given by the children of Elizabeth and Harold Flood. The fund continues to grow with additional donations from generous parishioners, like you!
Now, five of our high school graduates have received a scholarship to assist them with their education beyond high school. The recipients are Ethan Kyger, Hannah Sadler, Caroline Dorsett, Kayla Lanouette, and now, Benigna.
Contributions to the Dream Big Scholarship are always welcome and can be sent to St. Mary Anne’s Treasurer or donated online at our website.
Last Sunday, a quartet of St. Mary Anne’s String Studio students played “Alleluia, Give Thanks” as the closing hymn of our worship services. Three of the four students were on violin and one student played the guitar. Three students are 8:00AM parishioners: Kaelyn, Clark and Claire Kondracki!
Our newly established Thompson Memorial Crocus Lawn made the national Episcopal News Service!
