Paid tuition, dream to fruition
Meadows School kindergartner scholarships available
When it comes to education, Aleissya Ruiz’s parents tell her to go above and beyond.
That’s just what the 10-yearold tries to do at the Meadows School, where she relishes learning cursive handwriting and dreams of becoming both a veterinarian and a doctor.
“They know I will do great in the school, and they’re really happy that I’m actually here,” she said.
Her enrollment at the private Summerlin school wouldn’t be
possible without the Windsong Scholarship, which is given to five students each year whose families demonstrate financial need. After qualifying for the program, both Aleissya and her 7-year-old sister Makayla are locked in for a 12-year education as long as they maintain good grades, otherwise remain in good standing and continue to show a financial need.
With tuition ranging from $16,810 at its “beginning school” for pre-kindergarten students to $26,600 for high school, that’s an investment that grows in value with each passing year.

Chuck Schumer control — it will be anarchy in this country.”
Two of President Donald Trump’s five children are campaigning for Nevada Republicans this week ahead of the Nov. 6 election. Eric Trump, Trump’s middle son, and his wife, Lara, told voters Monday that the president needs people like Hardy in Washington.
Trump pointed to the strong economy and low unemployment rate as signs of his father’s “winning policies.”
“This country is doing awesome because we finally have someone with backbone in the Oval Office,” Trump said.
Hardy, a construction business owner who initially denounced President Trump, said he “regrets” that decision and fully stands with the president.
“I was the judge and jury, and I shouldn’t be,” Hardy said after the rally. “I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with President Trump, and I’ve also seen his policies. His policies are my policies. I shouldn’t have been the judge and jury, and I regret that.”
Outside the rally, Nevada Democrats joined with Rep. Stacey Plaskett, D-virgin Islands, to criticize Hardy for backing Trump’s agenda.
“The highest duty of a member of Congress is to fight for the people they serve,” Plaskett said. “Cresent Hardy has shown again and again that his priority is not helping working families, but rather serving the special interests who are funding his campaign, and doing the bidding of Donald Trump.”
Eric Trump thrilled the crowd inside, including Sara Martin, who shouted that her 13-year-old daughter Olivia could marry Barron Trump, the president’s youngest son. The girl blushed.
“It’s a great family to marry into,” Martin, a construction business owner, joked after the rally, adding that she supports Trump’s economic policies.
In the wake of a shooting rampage at a Pittsburgh synagogue that left 11 dead, Trump defended his father’s rhetoric.
“My father’s a fighter,” Trump said after the rally. “Hey, does that maybe sometimes get him in a little bit of trouble? Sure. Hey, he’s not always perfectly PC. But I don’t think right now America needs somebody that’s perfectly PC. I think America needs a fighter.”
President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., will campaign on Friday for the Republican ticket, with stops planned in Carson City, Reno and Pahrump and Las Vegas.
The Trumps will campaign for
U.S. Sen. Dean Heller, gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt, Hardy and Danny Tarkanian, who is running in the 3rd Congressional District.
Tickets are available for the Trump Jr. rallies in Carson City (which will feature Heller and Laxalt), Pahrump (which will feature Laxalt and Hardy) and Reno.
