To be considered for this award, students were asked to write a persuasive essay describing perceptions of cyber bullying and its impact. They were also asked to create a plan for the prevention of cyber bulling. Numerous entries were received and ClassLink recognizes and congratulates all of the nominees on their school achievements. Kelsey Prye impressed ClassLink judges with her essay on the need to raise awareness on the issue of bullying overall. Kelsey included in her essay her own experience helping organize and implement an action plan with her friends to combat cyber bullying at her high school.
Kelsey Prye is a National Honor Society member and high honor student. She is planning to attend college in the fall to earn a degree in Criminal Psychology. Kelsey participates in numerous extra-curricular sports and activities. Her multiple academic honors, volunteerism and well thought-out essay demonstrate that she is a thoughtful person who can get things accomplished.
“Our annual scholarship essay contest is another example of how ClassLink works to help expand learning horizons for students,” said CEO Berj Akian. “We are confident that Kelsey will continue her achievements. Congratulations to Kelsey and the teachers who successfully prepared her for the challenges ahead.”
