I II 3 ivening of Excdsnce education celsbrsison PCEF hosts evening of scholarships, awards for students, educators by Aaron Krenkel OF THE RECORD STAFF Tomorrow, May 11, Education Foundation year Evening of Excellence. For those unfamiliar with the event, it is. in the words of PCEF director Teresa Woodard, "an opportunity to celebrate students, teachers and volunteers from all Park City Schooi District schools who have demon- strated excel- (j knee in the classroom." Starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Eccles Center, the evening will include a wide range of scholarship presentations, teacher mmmmmmm awards, volunteer volun-teer awards and several short reflections on the meaning of excellence in Park City schools. Merlin Olsen, local resident, former National Football League star and actor, will conduct the presentations and also share a few thoughts on the evening. One part of the activities will be the presentation of numerous scholarships, most of which are funded through donations dona-tions from local businesses and residents. According to Woodard, this year, roughly $63,000 in scholarships will be awarded to graduating seniors. That money is split between 74 scholarships. However, because a given senior may receive more than one award. Woodard estimated that 52 students will receive scholarships. A committee on scholarships decides which students will receive the awards. According to Park City High School Principal Ha! Smith, high school counselor coun-selor Jerry Fiat and teacher Michelle Taylor usually offer large amount of input into the scholarship allocations. In addition, the particular benefactors often create their scholarships with a certain cer-tain kind of student in mind, although they usually defer, the student selection to the scholarship committee. ! o r example, (The Evening of Excellence) is an smith cited me ran cny the Park City will host this opportunity to celebrate students, teachers and volunteers... who have demonstrated excellence.
