Kaylin sveda scholarship
Kaylin Sveda (9-10-03 to 2-1-22)
Kaylin was a North East Marching Band member for 5 years, playing trumpet and then mellophone and eventually becoming the drum major for the North East High School Marching Band for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 School years. She was a wonderful musician, student and person. Kaylin embodied the characteristics of a servant leader. • Servant Leaders truly value people for who they are, not just for what they give to the organization. Servant leaders are first and foremost committed to people, particularly their followers. • Servant leaders do not promote themselves, they promote others, putting others first. They are truly humble, not humble as an act. Servant leaders understand it is not about them—things happen through others; exemplary servant leaders know they cannot do it alone. • Servant Leaders are willing to listen because they truly want to learn from others; to understand follower/associates, they have to listen deeply. Seek first to understand. Like discernment enables one to know when or where service is needed. • Servant leaders give trust to others. They are willing to take risks to serve others well. Servant leaders are trusted because they are authentic and dependable. • Servant leaders truly have the people and the purpose in their heart in the people and the purpose. They display a kindness toward others and a concern for others. As the term implies, they are there to serve others and not to be served by others. Servant leaders care more for the people than for the organization.
The North East Band Family will forever miss Kaylin and keep her in our hearts.
Through the generosity of the Sveda family, we have been able to start the Kaylin Sveda Memorial Scholarship which is distributed to several graduating seniors of the band program that are pursuing higher education.
