The four students, left to right, are: Hannah Janka (French Horn), Claire Gustis (Flute), Cameron Hejny (Clarinet, Grand Award Winner), and Stephen Cecil (Viola). Nicole Walus presented the fifth Dickerman award at South High School the same evening to Olivia Balicki (Percussion).
A total of $15,000 in Dickerman Scholarships was presented on Wednesday to these five talented students! All scholarship winners are invited to join Rotarians at our breakfast meeting on June 6th.
