Kids in the news: William Liu wins Nordstrom scholarship
Davis High School senior William Liu was awarded a $10,000 scholarship from Nordstrom in a surprise ceremony at Davis High last month. Liu’s parents, Taotao Hu and Sean Liu, were on hand when Nordstrom’s diversity affairs director, Leslie Aoyama, delivered a giant check and a MacBook computer to Liu in one of his classrooms.
Nordstrom awards 80 scholarships to students in 28 states every year.

Two Davis students took home top honors in Junior Achievement of Sacramento’s first bowling pin art contest at the nonprofit’s annual Crazy Bowl on Oct. 14 and 15 at Country Club Lanes in Sacramento.
Anne Cartier, a sixth-grader at Patwin Elementary, won first place in the elementary school category, while Gregory Shilling-Goins, a 10th-grader at Davis High School, took home first in the high school category. Christopher Cotham of Mills Middle School in the Folsom Cordova School District placed first in the middle school category.
More than 40 students from throughout Sacramento and Davis entered the contest. Students were given an authentic bowling pin and asked to turn it into a work of art.
“The contest was incredibly popular with our bowlers,” said Julie Rooney of Davis, director of community relations for Junior Achievement of Sacramento. “There were plenty of oohs and aahs as bowlers checked out the amazing pins of some very talented students.”
Junior Achievement plans to continue the contest next year, Rooney said.
