Chamber of Commerce Celebrates LOLHS Students

At the annual meeting of the Lyme-Old Lyme Chamber of Commerce held on June 20 at the Old Lyme Country Club, Business and Art students from Lyme-Old Lyme High School were honored and received Chamber awards and scholarships.  Prior to receiving a Chamber monetary scholarship, seniors had to prepare an application letter explaining their entrepreneurial endeavors, submit resume-like information, and include a recommendation letter from a teacher or mentor. Those graduating seniors receiving the scholarship included Amanda Marsh, Business Award (attending Fairfield University in the fall); Mason Swaney, Business Award (attending Bentley University in the fall), and Brandon Lee, Art Award (attending Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts). All spoke to the Chamber about their future plans.  In addition to the Senior awards, Juniors who had already received a Student-of-the Month award from the Chamber were honored. Those Juniors who received Chamber awards included Alex Montville, Aoife Hufford, and Ann Cote.  Those receiving the Junior award, were chosen for their excellence in business classes, each having taken more than two classes with both Business Department teachers, Mrs. Traver and Dr. Hedwall, and for their interest in pursuing a career in business.  Congratulations to all the awardees!
