KEYSER - Keyser High School has announced the nominees for the 2021 Katharine Church Award - Virginia M. Breedlove, Carlie D. DelSignore, and Sierra Hester.
The Katharine Church Award was established by the Keyser Rotary Club and named in honor of educator, musician and humanitarian Katharine Church who served as music director for the club for many years. She was finally inducted as a full member in the club when Rotary membership was opened up to include women.
Church, whose musical talents even took her to a performance at the White House, passed away in 2002.
Nominee Virginia Breedlove has had a busy high school career at Keyser, having played volleyball for four years and participated in track for three years. She was named to All-PVC volleyball three years, All-Area volleyball last year, and All-State volleyball honorable mention for the past two years.

KEYSER - “We plan for this to be just the beginning of our community service and hope to participate in many community service projects in the future, and encourage others to do the same,” said Carlie and Claire DelSignore as they were recognized Saturday with the Aubrey Stewart Award for Excellence.
The Aubrey Stewart Project recognized the Keyser High School seniors’ outstanding community service for their Valentine’s Day food drive, which included six neighborhoods and resulted in two vehicles and a truckload of donations as well as over $200 for the Faith in Action food pantry.
