Bonnie Kay Rocco Community Kindness Scholarship
Purpose
The Bonnie Kay Rocco Community Kindness Scholarship was established in Bonnie’s memory by her husband, Jack Rocco. Bonnie worked with children at Marshall Public Schools for several years prior to retiring. She always considered her work not really work, because she enjoyed spending time helping children each day. The day after Bonnie retired, she put her time back into the schools by volunteering to read to children because of her passion to impact their lives. One of her favorite volunteer projects was with the Fredonia Grange where she and Jack delivered dictionaries to area third-grade students. Bonnie's beautiful smile, kind heart and love will be missed dearly by her family and friends. Through this scholarship, she will continue to support area youth for years to come. The Bonnie Kay Rocco Kindness Scholarship is awarded to Marshall and Tekonsha High School graduating seniors, or previous graduates, pursuing a degree in the field of education at a two- or four-year college or university. Applicants must show a strong sense of community involvement through co- and extra-curricular activities and volunteerism as related to his/her field of interest.
