The Kiwanis Club of Washington has awarded $1,500 scholarships to three local Key Club seniors. Cassandra Teixeira was honored at a recent Kiwanis Club luncheon meeting. The remaining recipients will be recognized at future club meetings.
Teixeira, a recent graduate of Washington High School, told club members of her plans to pursue an exercise and sports science degree at University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill. She was active in the Kiwanis-sponsored Key Club during high school, along with dance and theatre activities.

Funding for the scholarships and other club projects comes from community activities including the annual lobster sale fundraiser, the Washington/Kiwanis Christmas parade and the annual golf tournament.
The Kiwanis Club of Washington meets each Tuesday for lunch at King Chicken on Carolina Avenue, Washington. The club welcomes prospective members who have an interest in service to the community.
