Congratulations to Olivia D. Walker, the Class of 2026 recipient of the Northern New York Community Foundation Watertown High School Class of 1956 Scholarship.

Olivia graduated in June from Watertown High School and will begin her freshman year at Jefferson Community College later this month where she will study early childhood education. She aspires to become an elementary school teacher.

“My goal is to teach at the first- to third-grade level,” she said. “As I reach this goal, I hope I leave an impact on the children as well as some teachers have left on me. A good teacher sets you up for a good year.”

A National Honor Society member, Olivia is an active community volunteer and works part-time as a School Age Child Care group leader at the Watertown Family YMCA. She is the daughter of Talitha and Theodore Walker, Watertown.

Watertown High School Class of 1956 alumni Jack Hammond and Charles Lytle recently met with Olivia at the Community Foundation and presented her with a $4,500 award.

Established in 2004 by members of the Watertown High School Class of 1956, this permanent Community Foundation scholarship is awarded to a Watertown High School senior who plans to further their education in college, junior college, community college, or vocational school. Recipients also must demonstrate good citizenship and solid values at school, work, and in the community.

Congratulations to Maddox Corey and Samantha Reynolds, the Class of 2026 recipients of the Northern New York Community Foundation Lewis and Ann Kibling Memorial Scholarship.

Maddox graduated in June from Watertown High School with a New York State Regents Diploma with Advanced Designation. He will attend SUNY Cortland this fall to study exercise science in a pre-physician’s assistant program. He also plans to continue his track and field career as a member of the Red Dragons pole vault program. Maddox is the son of Cortney Salisbury-Corey and Brett Corey, Watertown.

Samantha graduated in June from Lowville Academy and Central School with a New York State Regents Diploma with Advanced Designation. She will attend Onondaga Community College this fall to study physical education, where she also plans to continue her athletic career and play soccer for the Lazers. She aspires to become a physical education teacher. Samanatha is the daughter of Katie and Matt Reynolds, Lowville.

Maddox and Samantha recently met with Lewis and Ann’s children — Steve Kibling, Sue Kibling Gallagher, Sandy Kibling Drancsak, and Lew Kibling — who presented each of them with a $2,500 award to help them on their undergraduate journeys.

Margaret “Ann” and Lewis “Lew” Kibling left an indelible imprint on countless Northern New York students through decades of service as teachers, coaches, and mentors to youth across the region. The scholarship that honors their lives and legacies forever perpetuates their impact on North Country students.

The Lewis and Ann Kibling Memorial Scholarship was established at the Community Foundation in 2022 to provide support for graduating seniors attending college pursuing a degree in physical education or health studies. Like Lew and Ann, recipients will have demonstrated good character and be hard workers.
