Meet our 2026 Shannon Nichols LEA Scholarship recipient, Addison Fidler!

Addie is the daughter of member Nichole Fidler.

Receiving this scholarship means a lot to me. Not only in the aspect of financial aid, but also because Shannon Nichols was my fourth and fifth grade teacher. Mrs. Nichols had an incredible impact on my life. She was an amazing woman who was kind and thoughtful, and taught me so much academically as well as how to be a good human. She taught me to always be kind, and treat others the way I would want to be treated. It is because of her that I am the person I am today. I am extremely grateful for this scholarship, as well as Mrs. Nichols influence on my life.
