Scholarship Time Again

Hello Classmates!

It’s that time of year again.  Hope this note finds you well.  Can you believe most of us have reached the three quarter century mark and some even more!!  How did this happen?  Please keep in mind that 2025 will be our 60th reunion and The Committee will have to start plans for it in the next year.  Check out our class website for updates: https://lynnenglish1965.info.

LEHS Class of ’65 Scholarship

Thank you to all the classmates who made donations last year and some already this year.  Once again our Class is planning a $1,000 Scholarship Award to a deserving student in the graduating class of 2023.  We have given out over $32,000 in scholarships since 1981 and will continue this tradition as long as we can.  No donation is ever too small.  They all add up to a substantial amount.   This year’s LEHS Awards Ceremony is on May 31st.

Please go to the following website to see the posted Class of ’65 application form and guidelines:  LEHSguidance.org and click on Scholarship & Financial Aid to find the information.  Note:  Preference may be made to a grandchild of a Class of ’65 classmate.

If you can make a donation this year, we could possibly award a second scholarship.  You can print the following Scholarship Donation form by highlighting the text, right clicking and clicking on print.
