After winning the award for both school and district, Shivani Pandya has gone on to receive Sophomore of the Year for the entire tri-state area. She was presented the award and a $600 scholarship by Kiwanis yesterday.
“The Leander- Cedar Park Kiwanis review the applications from sophomores based on their service and leadership in the school and community,” Key Club sponsor, Kirsten Mulligan said.
There are four levels in the award process. After the award from the school, the nominee then goes to district. If they win the award there, they then advance to regional, and then finally to tri-state. If the nominee wins tri-state, they receive a scholarship.
