The Sayre Public School Foundation presented the Rizley Family Education Scholarship for the second year to Emily Easter. Emily was awarded the honor by Mike Blevins, SPSF treasurer, at the Sayre High School Awards Assembly on May 14, 2024. The scholarship was established by the Rizley Family for students pursuing a degree in education. This year the scholarship amount for the fall 2024 semester is $3000.00.
Emily’s plans are to attend East Central University and major in early childhood development. “I want to be a teacher with the goal of helping students grow to be successful adults and kind human beings.”.
Emily played seven sports as a Sayre High School student. She was involved in basketball, slow and fast pitch softball, track, cheer, cross country, and rodeo. She maintained a Senior GPA of 95.265.
Emily wants to be there for her students the same way her teachers would be there whenever she was having a rough day or she wanted to share her successes. “They have taught me it is possible to show every child the same amount of compassion and love.”
Emily is excited to begin this chapter and can’t wait to see where the journey will take her.
Congratulations, Emily Easter! We have faith you will :inspire student success!
