Jeremy Marquez

Jeremy Marquez, a sixth grader at West Middle School, won the 9th annual Stauffer Scholar of the Year Award. He received the grand prize of $500 to open a college savings account. Additionally, his name will be added to the "Perpetual Plaque" that is displayed in the school office. Jeremy was especially pleased with his win, given the fact that his brother, Alex Marquez (a UCSB sophmore) won the same award eight years ago. ********** Published: November 4, 2010 - Volume 9 - Issue 29
