SWEETWATER COUNTY — Recently, local Eastside Elementary School student Matthew Logan was a recipient of a non-traditional student scholarship presented by the Kari’s Access Awards committee.

The non-traditional scholarship was used to purchase a clarinet. Matthew was nominated by school counselor, Cindy Lane, based on his interest in playing the clarinet, joining the school band and learning more about music.

Kari’s Access Awards is an endowment fund started in 2006 in memory of Kari (Kay) Fusselman who was a student at Westridge Elementary, White Mountain Junior High, and Rock Springs High School.

The fund gives School District #1 students access to non‐traditional scholarships. These scholarships allow students to participate in outside programs enhancing learning and personal growth beyond their daily school activities.

Founder, Larry Fusselman says, “Kari’s Access Awards opens new opportunities to students; bringing out the best in each student one child at a time.”
