______________________________

Each year, the students in the top 10% of Kittitas, Ellensburg, and Thorp Highs Schools are recognized by their community at the Lower Kittitas County Top 10% Scholars Luncheon. This event was started back in the 1970’s by Aileen Barker and company for the Ellensburg scholars. Jerrol’s became involved a few years later when Dad jumped in to help with planning the event.

Our Core Values

It has evolved over the years to recognize scholars from all lower valley High Schools. Each scholar is sponsored by a community member who pays for their lunch, personally invites them to the event and arranges transportation to and from.

1. Help If we help enough people get what they want, we will get what we want. –Zig Ziglar The people we help are our Clients, Team, Community and Vendors. We help by listening and by being present during our interactions.

During the luncheon, their sponsors take a few moments to talk to their scholar and note their achievements and future plans. Then the sponsors make a two minute or so introduction about the scholar to the rest of the attendees. It is one of the most inspiring events I get to attend each year. Howard Lyman, The Mad Cowboy (www.MadCowboy.com), has given the keynote presentation recently with a message of stewardship and sustainability of our planet, and will do so again this year. At the end of the luncheon, every scholar is awarded a personalized dictionary donated by Jerrol’s. By my calculations we have awarded more than 750 dictionaries. We will include a list of all the scholars next month. -Rolf P.S. You can contact me any time at 509 925-9851 or 800 858-2427, my cell 509 899-0120, or email Rolf@Jerrols.com

She enjoys painting and playing the piano in her spare time. This June, Bailey will be graduating from Ellensburg High School and attending Central Washington University in the fall. At Central she is interested in studying education and art. A couple of years back, Taylor moved to Ellensburg to attend CWU, where she is studying elementary education. Following her graduation in 2019, she plans to teach in a third grade classroom. Here in Ellensburg, she enjoys hiking the Umptanum Falls trail and hammocking in her spare time. We both have been shopping at Jerrol’s for many years and we are excited to get to be a part of creating this fun atmosphere.

A big "thank you" to my fellow co-worker, Crystal, for making these cute framed greeting cards. I think they'd make a perfect Mother's Day gift. Here's what you need: •A greeting card (There quite a few in this particular line of cards at Jerrol's) •Some pretty paper (wrapping paper works great) •A frame •Glue •Washi tape (optional) 1. Cut your paper to fit into your frame. 2. Glue your greeting card onto paper. 3. Decorate with Washi Tape. (Or not) 4. Put it in frame. Super simple and fun. Even dad's can make this one.
