At the invitation of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, Amy Wedel of Peabody was selected to attend the 28th annual governor’s scholar awards program on May 6 in Topeka.

The ceremony honored the top academic one percent of Kansas high school seniors, selected from accredited public and private schools in the state.

“These high school seniors have shown dedication in their studies and a commitment to learning,” Brownback said. “We also should recognize their families, teachers, and mentors for helping these outstanding students achieve their academic goals.”
