Two Students Win Fowler-Kaden Memorial Scholarship
PIERRE, S.D. - The South Dakota Board of Regents awarded the 2009-2010 Annis Irene Fowler-Kaden Scholarship to two South Dakota high school students. The recipients, Blossom Buum and Ella Campbell, will each receive a $1,000 award.
The Annis Irene Fowler-Kaden Scholarship is available to high school seniors planning to major in elementary education at a South Dakota public university. The scholarship was established in 1989 by the family of Annis Irene Fowler-Kaden to recognize and continue Annis' dedication to education. Born in Grant County, South Dakota, to a family of English immigrants, Annis Fowler began a teaching career in 1927 that spanned nearly 50 years. She obtained her B.A. degree from Northern Normal School and eventually specialized in teaching young students with various learning disabilities.
Blossom Buum is a senior at Menno Public School and Ella Campbell is a senior at Central High School in Aberdeen. Buum plans to attend The University of South Dakota this fall and Campbell will attend Northern State University.
