PAGE A8, KEIZERTIMES, MARCH 22, 2019 McNary senior’s service earns her Elks scholarship BY MATT RAWLINGS Of the Keizertimes Abbie McKenzie has always had a servant’s heart. Since her life as a high schooler started four years ago, the McNary High School se- nior has been heavily involved in the Keizer community. Little did she know how much it would pay off. Back in January, McKenzie was awarded the Keizer Elks Scholarship for her excellence as a student, as well as for her participation in community service and extra curricular ac- tivities. “I felt pretty honored to re- ceive any sort of scholarships from the Elks (Lodge),” McK- enzie said. “Serving the com- munity is super important to me.” But that was just the begin- ning. Each year, the National Elks Foundation awards 500 four- year scholarships to the highest- rated applicants for their Most Valuable Student Competition — male and female students compete separately. The scholarships range from $1,000 per year to $12,500 per year, for students pursuing a four-year degree, on a full-time basis (minimum of 12 semester hours), in a U.S. college or uni- versity — all scholarships are in the form of certifi cates of award conditional upon the full-time enrollment of the winner in an accredited U.S. college or uni- versity. After she received second- place recognition in the Elks district competition and sev- enth place at the state competi- tion, McKenzie got the call to notify her that she was one of the 500 students in the country that will be re- ceiving a scholar- ship from the Elks National Founda- tion. “I teared up in the car when I got the call,” McKen- zie said. “I really didn’t anticipate winning or even going that far. It was really excit- ing.” McKenzie cur- rently has a 3.92 grade-point aver- age while taking weighted classes at McNary, but it’s what she does in the community that really causes her to stand out. McKenzie has been involved in Young Life in Keizer all throughout all four years as a high schooler. Currently, she is a student leader with the high school club and also serves as a middle school leader for Wyld- life. “Whether it be our Young Life club or the many differ- ent things she’s involved with at school, places are better off when Abbie is there and in- volved,” said Keizer Young Life staff member Beeb Gerlicher. For McKenzie, Young Life was the starting point of her in- volvement at her school and in the community. “(Young Life) has defi nitely been a really good platform for me,” McKenzie said. “I feel like that’s how I came to know a ton of people, and it has re- ally helped me to get myself out there in the community.” “It’s been cool to see how I’ve gotten other kids from my Abbie McKenzie school involved.” At school, McKenzie has been involved with the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) throughout her time at McNary, where she has learned about public speaking and en- trepreneurship. It was through FBLA where McKenzie got connected with Danielle Bethell from the Keiz- er Chamber of Commerce. In the summer of 2016, McKenzie spent time shadow- ing Bethell at Keizer’s annual Blue Day event. By the time Blue Day came around in 2018, McKenzie was the one who was running the show “I was looking for students who wanted to learn how to coordinate community ser- vice events, and eventually be- come the primary coordinator of McNary’s annual Blue Day event. Abbie eagerly stepped up to the role,” Bethell said. “She is obituaries Philip ‘Bruce’ Beilke December 6, 1943 – February 24, 2019 outgoing, kind and very capa- ble of all the goals she has ahead of her. I am proud to call her a friend and excited to see her life’s journey unfold.” The thought of being at school during the summer might be cringeworthy for a lot of teenagers. But McKenzie couldn’t have been more ex- cited to take on the challenge. “I really like school. So be- ing able to be at school for a month of the summer and then to plan for an event in August and then hang out with the principal and athletic direc- tor, I was just thrilled about it,” McKenzie said about planning Blue Day. “It was an amazing learning experience.” But her commitment to her school and her community doesn’t stop there. Along with serving as the president of National Honor Society at McNary, McKenzie has been involved in student government for the last four years. “McKenzie is an incredibly kind and hardworking student at McNary. She is an active member in our student gov- ernment and is a great plan- ner, communicator and liaison between school administration and the student body,” McNary principal Erik Jespersen said. Although the hard work has paid off in a big way for McK- enzie, she was never in this for the accolades.

But in the meantime, she is fo- cused on where she is going to go to college next year — Stan- ford University and Point Loma University are at the top of the list. Though she plans to be out of state next year, McKenzie is very grateful for the time she spent at McNary and how it helped her become who she is today. “Going to McNary and serving in Keizer has really helped me grow as a person,” McKenzie said. “I have become more social and confi dent and it has just benefi ted me a lot.” at 10:00 AM, at the main entrance of the Marion Co.
