2010 SCHOLARSHIP RECEPTION
On Saturday, July 17th, MRSPT
announced this year’s recipients of the Military Road School Donnessa Lucas
Memorial Scholarship Fund awards at a special program and reception held at
the Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives.
We were privileged to have honorary
Military Road School alumnus Karen Gray Houston offer invaluable
words of encouragement to the awardees. Drawing upon her personal life
experiences as a college student, Ms. Houston spoke of the need for them to
remain diligently resourceful in pursuing their careers. She also shared
how those experiences had served her in previous employment as well as in
her lengthy tenure as a news correspondent with Fox 5 News. Mrs. Houston’s
remarks appropriately reflected a sincere personal and professional concern
that the students succeed as she challenged them to remain focused but
flexible.
Special music was inspirationally
provided by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Sutton and Miss Amanda Sutton. A
gifted musician, Mr. Sutton serves as CEO of the Castleridge

Group and professionally utilizes his musical skills in many capacities,
including performances throughout the country as an accompanist for
well-known artists. As a
young
man, Mr. Sutton received encouragement to develop his musical talent from
someone in his community; and he shared with the awardees a commitment to do
likewise as he reinforced the importance of being sure they remember to
“give back.”
