STA Scholarship Deadline Update

Due to the current circumstances, the STA Scholarship Committee has decided to extend the deadline for the initial scholarship application to whatever date we return to school.  Any student who still needs a teacher recommendation should email a copy of the recommendation form (available on the district website) to that teacher and ask that the teacher give it directly to Mrs. McCarron or Ms. Scivolette when school resumes.
