Monique Watkins named a 2018 Annie's Girls

State Representative Jehan Gordon-Booth surprised senior Monique Watkins on Friday by naming her one of the Annie's Girls for 2018. The scholarship program, named in honor of Gordon-Booth's mother, Annie Jo Gordon, awards senior female students from each high school in the 92nd district a prom package underwriting the costs of dress, hair, makeup and nails, plus the opportunity to be mentored by a local professional woman. Annie's Girls mentors commit to building a one-on-one relationship with the high school girls, including a day of job shadowing.

Donations can be sent to the main office or students can donate during their second period class.
