CHARACTER CHAMPION SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS ANNOUNCED

During our May 6, 2016 meeting, Michelle Aladich from the YMCA presented scholarship checks to two Canton City School students receiving the Rex and Betty Jane Mayfield scholarships. These scholarships honor the Mayfields' dedication to Christian service, their belief in education, and their support of the work of the YMCA.  The two recipients had been recognized earlier this year as Character Champions by the YMCA and the Canton Rotary Club. These monthly Character Champions are recognized for their academic performance, community involvement, and commitment to continuing their education.
