This year, MASE President Laura Pingry-Kile is pleased to award the scholarship to Audrey Eidem, 2019 graduate of Chanhassen High School. Audrey will be teaching in AmeriCorps for one year and then going to school to become a special education teacher. Picture (L-R): Rachel Knaeble, Audrey Eidem, Laura Pingry-Kile Audrey has been working as a student aide for Rachel Knaeble to help support students in the DISCOVER program at Chanhassen High School and is recognized by students and staff for her kindness, patience and interest in working with the students. As part of her scholarship application, Audrey wrote, “I hope that as a special education teacher I can help children learn and become independent as they grow up. It is so important that we teach children not only to read and write, but also to make their own choices and be confident.” __________________ Read Your Summer MASE Impact Newsletter by clicking here! __________________ 2019-2020 Online Membership!
