On August 12th we recognized the 2020 Frank Sladen Scholarship winners.
Three scholarship winners from GP North and three from GP South. Mark Weber, the committee chair, introduced each student and read snippets of their school counselor’s recommendations. He bypassed the students’ accomplishments because they were too numerous to mention.
