The Kirkland Heritage Society and the Neir family presented the Christine J. Neir Memorial Scholarship to Sarah Staeck, graduating senior at Lake Washington High School.

Staeck’s painting is titled: “The Future is Bright,” and reflects Kirkland Marina’s past and present. She plans to attend WSU next fall.

The purpose of the annual scholarship is to foster interest in Kirkland’s local history and provide that opportunity to high school students attending either LWHS or JHS.
