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

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.

“I’m very proud of the work
that I have done and all the
hours that I’ve put in,” McKen-

see how that I’m being reward-

out of selfl essness.”

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.”
