Posted on Aug 02, 2016
The Kuyahoora Rotary Club selected 6 high school graduates, based on essays, to share in $4,000 worth of award money to be used for their future educations. Elise Butler from PHS won the Academic award. She plans to attend Hamilton College for biochemistry and eventually become a medical doctor. Kaytlyn Tooke of PHS won the Effort Award and plans to attend Utica College for nursing, eventually becoming a nurse-practitioner. Marissa Anderson, also of PHS, has won the volunteerism award for collecting and sending 27 pallets of books to Rotary Clubs around the world for distribution to needy schools and libraries. She will be attending Utica College and plans to become a physical therapist.
At the WCV school we also had 3 award winners. Hannah Bouchard won the Academic award and plans to enter the College of Pharmacy in Albany. Shannon Phillips won the Effort award and will pursue health studies at Utica College. Lastly, Chloe Murphy will attend MVCC and work for certification as a counselor for the chemically dependent.
We are so proud of all our winners. They are all going into health occupations where they can work to improve the lives of their fellow citizens.
