The program was an idea first envisioned by businessman Manny Panosian, who wished to give public recognition for young achievers. Panosian believed the program should be called \u201cMark Twain Scholars\u201d to honor the area\u2019s heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release, school officials stated, \u201cThe honorees represent our community\u2019s brightest stars. Their distinction as the top five percent of their graduating classes is a true achievement. Through their hard work, dedication, and success, they honor not only Mr. Panosian\u2019s vision, but also their entire community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waverly High School announced last month the recognition of six Waverly students as Mark Twain Scholars.&nbsp; Students, parents, and members of the administration attended the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":74143,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Waverly students honored as \u2018Mark Twain Scholars\u2019 - Owego Pennysaver Press<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2019\/07\/19\/waverly-students-honored-as-mark-twain-scholars\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Waverly students honored as \u2018Mark Twain Scholars\u2019 - Owego Pennysaver Press\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Waverly High School announced last month the recognition of six Waverly students as Mark Twain Scholars.&nbsp; Students, parents, and members of the administration attended the...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2019\/07\/19\/waverly-students-honored-as-mark-twain-scholars\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Owego Pennysaver Press\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/The-Owego-Pennysaver-49179420591\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-19T12:08:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-07-19T12:08:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2019\/07\/Scholars.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"709\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"700\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"psadvert\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"psadvert\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2019\/07\/19\/waverly-students-honored-as-mark-twain-scholars\/\",\"url\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2019\/07\/19\/waverly-students-honored-as-mark-twain-scholars\/\",\"name\":\"Waverly students honored as \u2018Mark Twain Scholars\u2019 - Owego Pennysaver Press\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2019\/07\/19\/waverly-students-honored-as-mark-twain-scholars\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2019\/07\/19\/waverly-students-honored-as-mark-twain-scholars\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2019\/07\/Scholars.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-07-19T12:08:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-07-19T12:08:49+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/#\/schema\/person\/e03684194434956dfb61f5ffcbc19492\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2019\/07\/19\/waverly-students-honored-as-mark-twain-scholars\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2019\/07\/19\/waverly-students-honored-as-mark-twain-scholars\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2019\/07\/19\/waverly-students-honored-as-mark-twain-scholars\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2019\/07\/Scholars.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2019\/07\/Scholars.jpg\",\"width\":709,\"height\":700,\"caption\":\"Pictured, are Waverly students Faith Svaboda, Stephanie Hyland, Kiara Babcock, Lillian Keefer, Dylan Ward, and Hailey Onofre.
