Sue Heyting/Snoqualmie Valley Dollars for Scholars | Community Leadership Award
A true pillar of the Riverview Community, Sue Heyting, and Snoqualmie Valley Dollars for Scholars, has worked hard to provide financial assistance to Riverview students since 1990. In that time, nearly $1 million has been awarded to students who may struggle to afford higher education. Heyting's dedication, generosity and care for Riverview School District graduates has left an indelible impact on countless young people and families in our community.
Tejasvini Vijay | Student Leadership Award
Tejasvini Vijay embodies powerful student leadership and advocacy, with a poise and grace far beyond her years. From her influential years at Cedarcrest High School to her role as a community leader, Tejasvini has been integral in bringing conversations from our schools to district leadership. She has also represented student school board representatives from across the state at the annual legislative conference, where she recently interviewed Shankar Vedantam, host of the Hidden Brain podcast. In galvanizing others to action, she ensures fairness is universal while tirelessly working to make those around her feel seen, heard, and valued. Tejasvini inspires others to be advocates for change, likewise leaving a powerful and lasting impact in our Riverview Community.
We celebrate the incredible achievements of Sue Heyting and Tejasvini Vijay and are thrilled to see their dedication and advocacy for Riverview students recognized by WASA at the 2023 Community Awards Luncheon.
