<strong>2010</strong> Alpha Delta Kappa<br />
Scholarships in Review<br />
Each biennium Alpha Delta Kappa International awards more than a quarter of a million dollars through its eight scholarship<br />
programs. The following individuals are the most recent recipients of Alpha Delta Kappa scholarships and grants. Because<br />
of these valuable programs, more than 90 individuals have been able to further their talents, interests and careers.<br />
Living Memorial Scholarship<br />
Lorraine Moore, South Carolina Alpha Beta Chapter, is the recipient of the <strong>2010</strong> Living Memorial Scholarship.<br />
Lorraine is an elementary gifted/talented teacher of third- to fifth-grade students. She is using the scholarship<br />
to travel to South Africa, where she is conducting interviews and developing audiovisual material to enhance her<br />
curriculum for the <strong>2010</strong>-2011 school year. She wants to broaden her students’ perspective of Africa and the world.<br />
Lorraine’s students have been corresponding via e-mail with students in several Johannesburg schools. Lorraine is<br />
visiting at least one of the schools, bringing pictures and gifts from her own students.<br />
“I want to enlighten and broaden my students’ thinking about Africa, particularly the history and culture of South<br />
Africa,” said Lorraine. “The dismantling of apartheid and the non-violent influence of Nelson Mandela, in themselves,<br />
make an inspiring case study for a rising generation. By experiencing South Africa through my eyes, learning<br />
about its similarities to their own country and communicating with South African students, I hope to have my young<br />
learners realize that they are world citizens.”<br />
