The Freshman class is trying to raise money for a new scholarship.
Ninth graders are trying to raise $250 as a class, then hoping to find a donor from the local business community to match that amount to create a scholarship to be awarded annually.
“We are looking for a generous donor to match our scholarship fund for a fortunate high school senior. We would love to get in contact with interested donors,” said Vice-President Cooper Keen.
CLass President Jacob Fitzgerald added, “Any donor interested in matching our funds would be greatly appreciated.”
The goal for the ninth-grade class is to give a $500 scholarship.
“Five hundred dollars may only cover the cost of books for a few classes one semester, but it can be a meaningful gift that the freshman class can take pride in”, commented Mr. Kerry Naylor, the Freshman Class Adviser.
The class had already had a Christmas Party in December in order to raise money. The cost was $2 entry and they raised a total of $160.
They will also be selling candy to raise the $90 needed to reach the goal.
Mr. Naylor went on to say, “We hope this will become an annual initiative for the freshman class and eventually become a tradition.”
