CONGRATULATIONS---25 STUDENTS NAMED SEMIFINALISTS IN 2027 NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

One of our Briarcliff readers passed along the good news:





Officials of National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) announced the names of more than 16,000 Semifinalists – including 25 from schools in the communities covered by River Journal Online – in the 72nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for about 6,700 National Merit Scholarships worth approximately $24 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 95 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.

BERENSON--ON THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF CHARLE KIRK'S ASSASSINATION

With 9/11 hovering over many of us, there's also this. With gratitude to journalist Alex Berenson:



Do you remember where you were when you heard Charlie Kirk was shot?

I’ll guess you do. I do. I think I always will. The awful meaning of his killing was immediately evident - and made worse by its constant replay. It came just a few weeks after the endless videos of the murder in Charlotte of Iryna Zarutska, another innocent killed in public, another innocent whose blood poured from her neck.

For, strange as the word may seem at first, Charlie Kirk was an innocent. He knew the risks he ran, and he chose to face them open-eyed, hoping that his vision would not die even if he did. MORE AT (3) On the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination
