Scholarship time again

Hello Classmates!

Hope this note finds you well.  Our 60th reunion will be held in 2025.  The Committee will start plans for it this year.  We will plan a luncheon since many of our classmates do not drive at night any more.  Our website has served us well in the past, but unfortunately it is a lot more time consuming for Les Libby to send our announcements out to you now so please check your class website periodically to see the latest Memorial additions, Scholarship info, 60th Reunion information, update your address, email, etc.  Our class website is: http://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 2024.  We have given out over $34,000 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.   One of our classmates has told me our class should do more and we should be awarding larger scholarships.  That would be wonderful but we need your contributions in order to accomplish this so please consider a donation!  This year’s LEHS Awards Ceremony is on June 5th.

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.  Scroll down to see our LEHS Class of ’65 scholarship details.  Note:  Preference may be made to a grandchild of a Class of ’65 classmate.

If you would make a donation this year, we could possibly award a second scholarship.  College is so very expensive and many or most of the students today at LEHS are from one parent homes living from paycheck to paycheck if they are lucky.  There are some very smart students at LEHS but they could use our help.  You can use the following Scholarship Donation by printing it out and mailing as instructed  Thank you for considering this worthy cause.
