Congratulations to the three scholarship winners:
Morgan Keely
Morgan, who was born deaf, attended Clarke Philadelphia’s Early Intervention and Toddler Program. Today, Morgan is heading into her freshman year of high school and continues to think about how she can help others on a journey similar to her own. She is the founder of Morgan’s Magical Ears and donates stuffed animals to children awaiting surgery at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. In addition to her work with Morgan’s Magical Ears, she recently visited Clarke Philadelphia to donate four American Girl dolls and share her story with students. She hopes to become a doctor in the future.
