Arlington High School senior Lyla DeGregorio was one of 12 applicants selected from across New York state to receive a $4,000 Jenkins Memorial Scholarship. She will be attending Oneonta and majoring in elementary education.
The Jenkins Memorial Scholarship was inaugurated in October 1946, as a special Golden Anniversary Project. In 1947 the fund was established as a permanent project as a living memorial to the young people who lost their lives in military service during WWII and was named for one of them, Clifford N. Jenkins, Jr., son of Margaret Jenkins, New York State PTA President 1944-1947 and National PTA President 1961-1964. The purpose is to assist outstanding students in preparing for the teaching profession.

Arlington High School students' research came to fruition when new historic markers were placed in two Poughkeepsie locations.
Brought about by research by Aba Hammond, Liv Heuser, Allen Wang (pictured) and Lond'n Powell and Praneel Gandhi (not shown), a historic marker was placed at the childhood home of author and suffragist, S. Josephine Baker, M.D. The former director of the NYC Bureau of Child Hygiene from 1908-1923,Dr. Baker was instrumental in reducing child mortality.
A marker was also unveiled at the childhood home of Lee Miller (1907–1977). Miller was a model and art photographer who documented WWII concentration camps for Vogue magazine in 1945. The placement of this marker was made possible by the research of Annabel Weir, Tanya Jabcuga, and Lucas Thazyik (pictured) and Charlotte Stefano (not pictured).
The markers were funded by the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, which awards grants for historic markers to educate the public and highlight local history.
In order to be considered, students must have completed community service hours, have recommendation letters from instructors and job supervisors, and maintain an overall career technical education average of 93 or above.
Students helped sort donated food items into categories while also gaining an understanding of proper food safety practices. This experience not only deepened their awareness of food insecurity, but also highlighted the importance of community service and giving back. This visit was especially impactful as Interact runs the Arlington Food Anchor, a backpack program at the high school, helping to directly support students in need within their own school community.
Attendees could also participate in several raffles; for a nominal fee, these tickets help support the high school art scholarship and fund next year’s event. The annual fair is sponsored by the PTSA.
