Every year, the Rotary Club of Waynesburg awards scholarships to high school students based on academic performance, community service involvement, letters of recommendation and the student’s response the essay question, “What does the Rotary motto, ‘Service above self’, mean to you?” This year, the club selected two $1,000 recipients from among 32 applicants, said the club’s scholarship chair, Melody Longstreth. “The committee was very impressed by the quality of our applicants and enjoyed learning about so many talented and generous students,” she said. The winners selected were Myles Kramer of Waynesburg Central and Rachel Jones of West Greene, both 2018 graduates. Kramer is the son of Mark and Melissa Kramer of Waynesburg. He will attend Penn State University Park this fall and major in mathematics. Jones is the daughter of Kurt and Connie Jones of Holbrook. She will attend Carlow Univeristy with a major in biology and a concentration in cardiovascular perfusion. Both students were presented with the scholarships at recent Rotary functions.
