scholarships from the Amish Descendant Scholarship Fund in
the fall of 2013. Barbara Gingerich is studying at Ashland Univer-

nical College to be a teacher. Congratulations Barbara and Lydia!

Fannie Slabaugh went to clas-
ses and worked hard to earn
her GED. As a mom, there
was a lot of juggling to do to
keep the household running
and fit her school work into
her busy schedule. But her per-
sistence paid off and she
earned her degree in late spring
of 1013. Congra
t
ulations to
Fannie!
