OES announces scholarship winners

The Order of the Eastern Star, Martha Chapter 34, Sandpoint is pleased to announce the presentation of two Betty Mills Memorial scholarships to deserving graduating high school students in both Clark Fork and Bonners Ferry. The focus of the scholarship is volunteerism and both recipients exceeded in this requirement.

Lia Crumpton of Clark Fork and Grace Coughlin of Bonners Ferry each were presented an $800 scholarship to help defray costs for their future education. Each graduate excelled in volunteerism and we feel it’s an endeavor they will continue throughout their lives.

This scholarship is made available for application to all graduating seniors in Lake Pend Oreille and Bonners Ferry School districts. Martha Chapter looks forward to the pleasure of extending this opportunity to students again next year.
