2013 Honorees:

Anna
This is Anna as "Ariel" with her grandmother Karen. Anna is our first-ever “double honoree!” Because she is such a good student she made the honor roll again at her school and she also received a “superior” rating on her piano playing. Her excellent vocal skills earned her the lead role playing “Ariel” in her school’s production of Disney’s “Little Mermaid.” What a star! Anna – can we get your autograph?

Erik Paul Klausing
Erik’s been real busy! He’s on the “All A Honor Roll,” a member of the Student Council, and has received certificates for Attendance, Reading Excellence, Music Achievement (drums) and a special Certificate of Achievement for maintaining all “A’s”. In addition to all that he participates in the Modern Woodman program! Way to go Erik!

Crystal Shirrell
Crystal was Student of the Year at Decatur Intermediate Blue Academy in 2006 and Valedictorian at Emmerich Manual High School in 2012. She also sang at the famous Carnegie Hall in New York City! Great job Crystal and continued success to you!

Megan Chmeil
I first met Megan Chmeil when I did a "Milka Way" visit at Temperance Road Elementary School when I raced at Toledo Speedway last year. Imagine my surprise when Megan had the honor of singing the anthem at my race this year at Toledo Speedway! Congratulations Megan and we all look forward to seeing you soon on American Idol !

Consejera Especial del St Alban’s Child Enrichment Center, Miami, Florida

“La visita de Milka al St. Alban’s Child Enrichment Center alcanzó y tocó los corazones y mentes de nuestros niños, sus padres y nuestro equipo. Aprendimos acerca de su “manejo” para el éxito; de como ella misma es una modelo a seguir para niñas, y todas las minorías; sobre lo importante que le ha sido obtener una educación amplia para ahora disfrutar las recompensas; y supimos acerca de que ella expuso su historia en un libro que los niños pueden leer y disfrutar por años. Todo ello fue verdaderamente inspirador.”
