On May 26, the Phoenix Alumnae Chapter for the 23rd year awarded funds to deserving graduating seniors at the Phoenix Day School for the Deaf. The Class of 2010, nine young ladies and four young men, celebrated the end of their high-school years and the beginning of a new adventure as they follow their dreams. Lorna Green (Alpha Beta), treasurer, and Ann Santos (Zeta Chi), president, presented checks to the salutatorian, Gabriella Flores, and valedictorian, Bianca Hamilton, who will attend ASU in the fall. Gabriella is enrolled in pre-med, and Bianca will study kinesiology. Of the 13 grads, 8 are going to college, and the other 5 will attend trade schools or already have jobs. This class is definitely destined for great things!
