Scholarships and Awards Ceremony

Student Reporter: Jordan Dykstra


Every year when eighth graders are shown around freshmen mentors tell them to get involved in activities and try hard in high school because it will help when applying for scholarships. This past week, that was shown during the scholarships and award ceremony.


On Wednesday, May 27th, forty seniors gathered in the Middle School Auditorium to see how their hard work paid off. Students had the opportunity to apply for national, state-wide, or local scholarships. For the local scholarships, students filled out one form that was then given to the scholarship committee to select the winners. This year was a very successful year for many students and we wish all the college-bound seniors good luck in the future!
