Once again, the Dollars for Scholars student Scholar Bowl championship game was another nail biter! School champions from Fryeburg Academy and Kennett High were very evenly matched with both teams bringing sharp minds and diverse knowledge. Fortunately this rivalry between the Fryeburg and Kennett competitors is a friendly one and serves a very important purpose: raising money for scholarships for valley students.
With the last question of the match, Kennett High school broke the tie score and became the Valley Champions. This team of winners, known as the Eukaryotic Philosophical Alliance was comprised of Mike Albert, Ben Emery, Henry Gotjen and Darrien Vaughn. They were proudly sponsored by Story Land. Fryeburg Academy was represented by a team of exceptionally bright students aptly named The Brainiacs. Watch for this team, comprised of Cailyn Ludwig, Kiley Joliceur and Jamie Gullikson to be back to compete in 2013 as seniors. Story Land was also their proud sponsor.
The Annual Student Scholar Bowl is a team effort in many ways. Valley Vision provides the set and filming and George Epstein takes charge as our host. Dollars for Scholars board member Deb Karmozyn provides the well-researched questions and fellow board members provide the manpower required to score and time the games. Faculty members Pat Fox from Fryeburg Academy and David Freedman from Kennett High donate their time as team coaches.
This event would not be the successful fund raiser that it is without the financial backing of our sponsors. With much gratitude, Dollars for Scholars would like to thank Dr. Dennis Hiller, Settler's Green, Cross Insurance, White Mountain Oral Surgery, Story Land, Fryeburg Interact Club and the Anna Stickney Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
As Dollars for Scholars enters another year of fund raising, we do so with gratitude to all those that supported our efforts last year. In 2011, it was our pleasure and honor to award $87,000 in scholarships to valley students. Despite our busy fund raising calendar, we could not come close to that amount without the help of the individual donors, community organizations, businesses, professionals and foundations .
