Living Proof awarded scholarships to two Bronx students: Kareemot Siyanabola and Nabila Abdulkarim, in honor of Mary Blossom Washington, a simple woman and Bronx resident who was a migrant to New York and never had any education but valued education so much she worked any job she could to ensure her kids had the best education possible.
The dedication of the winners to their academics, their community, and the development of their unique talents has identified them as someone who would thrive in our family of learners. Built upon a foundation of integrity, creativity, and openness to the exploration of new ideas, our institution is only as strong as the imagination and character of the students we support.
