Posted in: Whats New by admin on December 7, 2010
Each year, the Center for Joint Surgery and Sports Medicine gives scholarship awards to two deserving local high school seniors for $1,000 each. These awards are based upon applications and essays that each student submits to the Center for Joint Surgery and Sports Medicine. We had many excellent applications this year. After careful deliberation of all applicants, we would like to congratulate this year’s recipients, Sally Johnston of North Hagerstown High School, and Daniel Ridenour of Smithsburg High School.
Ms. Sally Johnston participated in many school activities, including the North High Key Club, North High Teaching Academy, Future Educators of America, and the National Honor Society. She is also an active participant in her community and helps teach Sunday school at Trinity Lutheran Church, and has volunteered her time with organizations like UNICEF, Children’s Miracle Network, March of Dimes, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Washington County Humane Society, Washington County Auxiliary, Boys’ and Girls’ Club (Hagerstown), Otterbein Church (Hagerstown), and Zion Church (Hagerstown). Sally has received several honors from her school, including Success Through Achievement and Recognition of Students Awards, Distinguished Officer of the Key Club, the National Honor Society, and the Honor Club of NHHS. Sally plans to attend Hood College in the fall to study Early Childhood and Elementary Education.
