Malverne co-ed inducted into prestigious society

Last month, Malverne resident Kimberly Birch was inducted into the Golden Key International Honour Society at the University of Delaware, where she completing her senior year as a psychology major.

“It is only fitting that a top academic achiever like Kimberly be recognized by Golden Key,” said John W.
