The Middleboro/Lakeville Rotary Club proudly recognized its four annual scholarship recipients this week, continuing a tradition that has spanned decades.
Each year, we select 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.
From left, scholarship recipients Colin Cyr, Grace Schwartz, Natalie Corey, Ryan Penney, Middleboro/Lakeville Rotary President Matthew Bruce and Scholarship Committee members Sue Okolita and Marjorie Dunn-Lackie.
The students and their families were welcomed for a celebratory dinner at the Fireside Grille, 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:
- Natalie Corey, from Middleborough High School, bound for Framingham State University
- Colin Cyr, from Apponequet Regional High School, headed to Saint Anselm
- Ryan Penney, from Middleborough High School, headed to Wentworth Institute of Technology
- Grace Schwartz, from Apponequet Regional High School, attending University of Rhode Island
Club members noted that their accomplishments and character embody Rotary’s commitment to service and leadership.
