Winners of the Eric Gutknecht Memorial Bursary were announced on June 27 in front of proud parents and friends of graduating students at both North Grenville District High School and St. Michael Catholic High School. Katherine White took home top honours for North Grenville and Peyton Horning for St. Michael. Criteria rated by nine executive members included: commitment to field of study, adversity, financial need, and volunteerism. This registered charity has now given out $23,000 in bursaries to deserving students in North Grenville since 2011. Best of luck to all students taking part in this past week’s ceremonies, as many go on to post secondary education, while others enter the WOW (world of work), and others may return to school for additional studies.
