Hi! My name is Sherry Peppers and I attend Clearwater High School as a Sophomore. I have recently been accepted to be a Japanese exchange student through the Youth for Understanding program. I received the Japan-US Senate scholarship, which is a partial scholarship. I am asking for donations to come up with my remaining tuition of $3,000 by April 15th.
I worked hard for this achievement. To be able to apply I had to have at least a 3.0 grade point average. I was top 10% of my Freshman class. I won 1st place in the local science fair and was the only student from my school to represent Clearwater High School at SEMO. I have been a part of FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America) for two years. I have been a local chapter officer and a regional officer for two years. With the help of Mrs. Christy Johnson, my FCCLA advisor, I was given the opportunity to apply for this amazing experience with YFU.
I am the first student from our area to apply and be accepted for this student exchange program. I hope this opens up opportunities for my fellow community students to study abroad.

These FCCLA students are wearing “Arrive Alive” t-shirts to promote Missouri’s new “It Only Takes One” campaign. In the past, area high schools have participated in a six-week program called Battle of the Belt to raise seatbelt use at their schools. However, seatbelt use is not the only traffic safety issue high school students face. “It Only Takes One” stresses the importance that teen drivers realize it only takes ONE text, ONE drink, ONE call, ONE reach, ONE distraction, to cause ONE fatal moment but that ONE clicked seat belt could be the difference between life and death in a car crash.
As Missouri voters go to the polls today to cast votes for their party’s presidential nominee, it is the first time for many of the 2016 seniors to shoulder the right, the privilege, and the responsibility of VOTING!
