The 2007 Scholarship was make possible by the contributions
from the children of Dorothy Nevison. Additional funds
were contributed by a few other friends that remember her
for kind support and caring as we grew up.
(2006) We’re out of the
starting gate and on our way. The Penncrest High School
Scholarship Foundation awarded its first scholarships at the
Penncrest Award Ceremonies on June 2, 2006. The Class of
1963 Scholarships went to Jeffrey Walker and Katherine
Magliochetti in the 2006 graduating class.
Our original
plan was to completely fund the foundation enabling us to
present annual scholarships indefinitely starting in 2013,
our 50th reunion year. Th2 2006 scholarships
were made possible through additional contributions from the
children, grandchildren, and friends of Pearl Sorkin and
