Scholarships

$41,000 awarded in scholarships
The Dixie Elks Lodge held its annual Student Awards Night on May 7th, 2018.
About 170 people attended this year’s Award’s Night including the Youth Activities committee, scholarship winners, student of the year winners, parents, schoolteachers, and administrators.
A male and female student from each of our 13 high schools were honored as students of the year. They each received a certificate and bag of goodies including $50 in cash.
Among national, state and local scholarships, $41,000 was awarded to deserving students.
Also among the honorees were two young winners of the Americanism essay contest.
The keynote speaker was Bob Sonju, Executive Director of Student Learning and Professional Development for the Washington County School District.
Thank you Wayne Sittre for heading up the delicious dinner. Thank you all of you wonderful volunteers who cooked, served, and cleaned up. Also to the LOE for helping to set up and decorate the tables.
I could have never done this without you!
Lastly, kudos to my amazing committee. It is an honor to work with them. It was a night that made me proud to be an Elk!
