The selection committee for the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Scholarship and Fellowship Program has announced several area recipients of the 2014 Herb Kohl Foundation awards for students and teachers.
The $1,000 awards statewide are being made to 100 teachers, their schools and 187 graduating high school students.
Area Excellence Scholarship winners are Mallory Mews, Bonduel High School; Erin Wick, Wittenberg-Birnamwood High School; and Carly Lemke, Oconto Falls High School.
Excellence Scholarship recipients have demonstrated excellence in the academic arena and high motivation to achieve, have displayed a broad range of activity and leadership outside the academic setting, and have shown strong promise for succeeding in college and beyond.
Area Initiative Scholarship winners include Erin Fisher, Suring High School, Rose Magee, Lena High School, and Keith Malueg, Clintonville High School.
Initiative Scholarship recipients, chosen by their schools, have demonstrated exceptional initiative in the classroom and have shown strong promise for succeeding in college and beyond, but have not yet received other academic-based scholarships.
Area Fellowship recipients are Karen Petermann, Longfellow Elementary School, Clintonville, and Lynne Simpson, St. Rose/St. Mary School, Clintonville.
Fellowship recipients are chosen for their superior ability to inspire a love of learning in their students, their ability to motivate others, and for their leadership and service within and outside the classroom.
A luncheon honoring the Kohl winners from three area CESA districts will be held April 6 at Red Smith Elementary, 2765 Sussex Road, Green Bay.
