Dist. 96 Foundation awards scholarships
On May 24, at the Arboretum Club in Buffalo Grove, the District 96 Foundation awarded scholarships to three District 96 alumni, who graduated with the Stevenson High School Class of 2012. Foundation president Wright Chase and treasurer Dr. Michael Klass made the presentations.
Woodlawn Middle School alumna Andrea Pasminski and Twin Groves Middle School alumna Marissa Lobl each were awarded Marc E. Spivak $1,000 service scholarships. The Spivak scholarship recognizes former District 96 students for whom community service is a passion and honors District 96 Foundation founder and former Board of Education president Marc Spivak.
