Day 154 - MWHS Scholarship Night

Today's post is from MWHS Guidance Counselor Tina Kampa

On Wednesday, May 14th we held the 14th annual Scholarship Awards Night. It was a wonderful evening where we were able to recognize the generosity of the scholarship donors and the hard work and accomplishments of the senior award winners!

This year there were 52 scholarships awarded from 35 different donors to 46 members of the graduating class for a total of over $64,000 worth of scholarship money – the highest total to date!

This is one of my favorite nights of the year! One of the things that I like best about it is creating a connection between the scholarship donors and the senior award winners. It is a unique opportunity for these two groups to meet and interact with one another.

THANK YOU, once again, to all of the scholarship donors and CONGRATULATIONS to the senior scholarship award winners!
