Meet one of our two SFA Recipients for this year. Leslie Pavlasek is a Senior this year and is a well rounded student. She enjoys cooking, plays trombone and is in the Marching and Roaring Buzzsaw Pep Band. You will notice her right hand is purple from the Big DIP celebration when she received her SFA ring.

Her answer to an SFA form question touched my heart. The question was: If you had two minutes with the donor, what would you say to him/her?

Leslie’s answer: I would thank them for the generous gift they are giving me. I would like to learn more history about their daughter, her legacy at SFA and give them my condolences.

You can read her thank you note and learn her and her Mom’s struggles after losing their home in a tornado. I’m glad we can play a small part in helping her reach her goal of becoming a culinary instructor one day.
