Monthly awards
The Exchange Club presented monthly awards to three outstanding seniors from Falcon High School and the Patriot Applied Learning Campus on Feb. 11 at the IHOP Restaurant on Stetson Hills Boulevard. The school counselors nominated these students for their achievements during the month of January.-
Now is the time for the monthly award winners from August through January to apply for $1,000 scholarships to any school of their choice. Once the applications are received, our Youth Committee will review them and select two seniors, each of whom will receive a $1,000 scholarship. The awarded seniors will be announced in April, and their applications will also be forwarded to our Four Corners District Club for additional scholarship opportunities.
The award ceremony included a complementary dinner, certificates and Walmart gift cards for the honored students.
