School retirees give scholarship
WAYNESBURG – Alice Souders of the Greene County Association of School Retirees attended the 43rd Annual Awards Ceremony at Waynesburg Central High School to present that organization’s 2014 scholarship to MacKenzie Waychoff.
Waychoff is the daughter of Brian and Deborah Waychoff of Prosperity and has maintained a 4.0 grade-point average.
She was a member of the marching and concert bands, National Honor Society, Students Against Drunk Driving, Academic League and several more. In addition, she volunteers at the hospital thrift store and is a preschool volunteer at her church.
Waychoff plans to attend Penn State University.
The Greene County Association of School Retirees is made up of retirees from all careers associated with public schools and includes retired teachers, administrators, secretaries, aides, cooks and others. Each year the GCASR provides a scholarship to a deserving graduate who will be furthering his or her education beyond high school. Scholarships are awarded to students from each of the five Greene County school districts and the Career and Technology Center on a rotating basis.
Souders pointed out the members of GCASR do this through their personal donations, and they believe there is no better way to contribute to their communities than to encourage youth to advance their educations.
