The Middleboro/Lakeville Rotary Club proudly recognized its four annual scholarship recipients this week, continuing a tradition that has spanned decades.
Each year, the club selects outstanding high school students based not only on academic achievement, but also on their commitment to community service, involvement in school and extracurricular programs, and a personal essay reflecting their goals and values.
The students and their families were welcomed for a celebratory dinner at the Fireside Restaurant, where each recipient shared their intended majors and future plans. Rotarians offered a mix of humorous and heartfelt reflections from their own college days, along with words of encouragement as the students prepare for the next chapter of their lives.
The evening closed with warm congratulations and best wishes to the scholarship honorees, from Apponequet Regional High School, Grace Schwartz, attending University of Rhode Island and Colin Cyr, headed to Saint Anselm and from Middleboro High School, Ryan Penney, headed to Wentworth and Natalie Corey, bound for Framingham State University.
Club members noted that their accomplishments and character embody Rotary’s commitment to service and leadership.
