The winner this year was Miramonte High School senior Clara Wu, who is planning on attending Eastside College in Boston next year. Dan Hagan, Moraga Lions Club president, said he was impressed by Wu's expression and creativity, noting it was obvious that young people have strong ideas about current events. Lions' members were proud that they were able to provide the contestants with the opportunity to share their views and skill. The contest has six levels, and the winning student can win up to $21,000 in scholarships. There is a total of $103,000 awarded overall in scholarships. The next level is the Zone level to be held March 15, starting at 7 p.m.at the Creekside Room in Rossmoor. |
