Kelso High School Pep Club students will be raising money for the Julia Hiatt Memorial Scholarship through the Kelso Public Schools Foundation to honor former Kelso High School graduate, Julia Hiatt who lost her battle with cancer in 2019. Julia had an enormous impact on the school and its culture. This scholarship will be granted to a Kelso student who, like Julia, makes Kelso High a better place for their peers, believes in doing good for others just for the sake of being kind and a person who inspires others through, not only their actions, but just by being who they are. There will be a Pass the Pot donation collection at Half Time.
These games will both be a Teal Out so wear as much TEAL or Gratitude Gear as you have and come support your Kelso Hilanders as the Girls take on the Heritage Timberwolves and the Boys take on Evergreen Plainsmen and join Team Jules and our efforts to honor Julia and her legacy and raise money for the scholarship in her name.
If you are unable to attend these games and would like to donate, donations to the Julia Hiatt Memorial Scholarship will be graciously accepted at the Kelso High School ASB office through February 29th and at all times at https://wa-kelso-lite.intouchreceipting.com/JuliaHiattMemorialScholarship or directly through the Kelso Public Schools Foundation.
