I'm sincerely honored to have been selected as the recipient of the Ron Raglin Teaching & Learning Scholarship
As a student at ECC working towards a bachelor's degree in elementary education with an ESL endorsement, this support from the Raglin family enables me to focus on my passion.
Streamwood High School
Hearing these speeches about Ron made me feel as if I knew him personally.
His impact on our community is profound, and I’m incredibly grateful to have attended this banquet. My heartfelt wishes go out to his family and to the future recipients of this scholarship. It’s truly an honor to have learned about Mr. Raglin.
I am grateful to AVID for the opportunities it has given me.
It has shown me that stepping outside my comfort zone is essential for growth. It has taught me to advocate for myself and others and to stand proudly in who I am.
I appreciate how AVID emphasized the importance of choosing the right school.
Initially, I thought any university would do, but now I’m focused on finding one that excels in my intended major—law. My question is: how did you know you chose the university or college that felt like the best fit for you? Thank you for the invitation; I’m grateful to be here.
We love you, Raglin Family!
We’re so lucky to have you in our Elgin community. You are thoughtful, caring, and incredibly down-to-earth. I admire your commitment to making Elgin a thriving and wonderful place to live. Next year, maybe we can make room for a dance floor and encourage everyone to join in! The DJ was fantastic—great volume and song choices.
