The Boardman Civic Association’s annual Scholarship Awards banquet will be held Tues., Apr. 18 at 6:00 p.m. at the Boardman Holiday Inn. Honored will be seniors from Boardman High School, Cardinal Mooney, Ursuline High School and Valley Christian School who have achieved a 3.5 gpa or above and are also involved in community and civic activities. This year, over 130 seniors from these schools meet the criteria.
      Six students will be chosen to receive scholarships of $750 each. The awards are made possible through the Boardman Civic Association’s Scholarship Fund, which is supported by BCA members’ contributions and others from the community.
      At this year’s event, a Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Frank Lazzeri, retired former Superintendent of Boardman Local Schools, for his years of dedicated service to the schools and the community.
      BCA members and student honorees may attend the dinner at no cost. Others may purchase tickets for $25 on the BCA website (www.BoardmanCivic.com). Tickets may also be purchased at the door with cash, check or credit card; however, reservations must be made in advance by contacting Meg Harris at MHarris1421@yahoo.com. The deadline for reservations is Apr. 10.
