It was fun, and we really enjoyed getting to meet the winners. He wrote: “I (and I assume Marge will agree with the general tone of this, if not the specifics) want to thank Oxford Community Foundation for hosting the meet-scholarship-winners social yesterday and inviting us. Hope shared a message from Ned Webb she received the day after the ice cream social in which he expresses appreciation for the invitation to be part of the event. The Webbs also sponsor the Dale Plank Award named for the now-retired teacher and coach. The Marjorie and Ned Webb Writing Award is presented to students selected by the English Department at the high school as having produced good work over four years. Some of the foundation’s scholarships are set up for special purposes or to honor those who have played a role in the lives of others. She started out to be a teacher but changed paths.
Now, more than ever, there are more scholarships for two-year programs,” Hope said. “This is a fantastic path for young people. One of their scholarships in that area is the Logan David Keeler Memorial Scholarship aimed at helping students going to a vocational, technical or trade school looking for a career in a host of possible areas including welding, agriculture, construction or building trades or even dental or medical technician. The Nancy Kane Continuing Education award is aimed at helping those who have not completed high school but want to do so through adult education programs.Īnother trend, Hope noted, was a growing emphasis on supporting students planning to attend a two-year college program for training in a variety of trades, rather than a four-year college.
Edwards Excellence in Education Scholarship and the Dorothy Blankenship Memorial Scholarship for Music. Some examples are the Marge and Al Cornett Scholarship, the Melford T. Several scholarships relate to education and are geared to students planning to enter the education field. The Gene Burton Minority Scholarship is given to a graduating senior who has been disadvantaged by race, creed, color, cultural background or sexual orientation. One of the scholarships presented by the foundation was the Mitzie Statum “Spirit of Goodwill” Memorial Scholarship awarded to a special needs student demonstrating good will toward classmates and positive relationships. In the past, scholarships focused on those seniors with grade point averages of 4.0 or higher but now many look at character traits. The variety of types of issues addressed by the local scholarships was illustrated by Hope, who cited some examples, saying some of them address attributes such as kindness and diversity. “With the yard signs, we wanted to share the sense of honor and community,” she said. While that program was going on at the high school, she said volunteers were out putting signs in the yards of recipients so they could see the greeting when they returned home. Hope said they had earlier surprised those scholarship recipients while the Senior Awards Night program was happening. Then you are invited to take a seat in Gusta’s own restaurant.Among the graduating seniors on hand for the scholarship ice cream social were from left, Brayden Vaughn and Gunner Green. A visit to Gusta invariably ends with a peek into their open kitchen, located left of the entrance. The stylish shapes and understated materials support the collection and help clients to visualise its presence in their own shop setting. The showroom reminds you of a modern department store’s home furnishing department. Specially designed shelves are mounted on the walls and open wooden cupboards with glass shelves are set in between, in line with the windows, letting through daylight while also serving as a display. The open, wide passage on the right leads to the showroom with similar blocks complemented by six, large, open steel frame cubes which each showcase a theme from the Gusta collection. A characteristic Gusta visual is also displayed, leaving nothing to chance. Exhibited on various wooden, white and concrete blocks as well as in open, square compartments made of wood and nestled onto the six meter high wall featured at the center of the hall. Directly upon entering, visitors become acquainted with a selection of Gusta’s extensive collection. The two storey high entrance hall is large, light and beautiful, connecting the entrance, showroom and the restaurant.
