Abigail Faisal ‘12, wins volunteer scholarship
Priory senior Abigail Faisal received a Sequoia Awards $5,000 scholar- ship for her community service. The Sequoia Awards is a non-profit organization that gives an annual scholarship to students who live in Redwood City and demonstrate dedicated volunteerism. Abigail has given hundreds of hours to Girl Scouts. She planned, executed and provided follow-up for a community service project to educate young girls about fitness that was deemed on a national level to have “a last- ing impact on our community.” Abigail is now focusing her efforts on bringing senior citizens up to date with technology in order to facilitate and encourage family connectivity and inclusion. She is shown here with her award sponsors: Kirk McGowan and a representative from the Stanford Medicine Outpatient Center.
