9 Highland Place has something to cheer about!

Maria wraps a gift while working at Perch Home

Our own Maria DiPasquale (daughter of Matters Magazine Supervising Editor, Joanne DiPasquale, and gal-staffer at Perch Home) has won the Kenyon Review Young Writers Workshop scholarship, which is awarded to one Columbia High School junior each year.  She will attend this workshop for two weeks this summer at Kenyon College, in Ohio. When Maria is not hanging at 9 Highland Place she is a CHS honor student and just named co-editor of the Columbian newspaper for her senior year. Yeah, Maria!
