🎉 Celebrating Academic Excellence at Rotary Honors Night! 🎉 The Bellefontaine Rotary Club hosted its 48th Annual Rotary Honors Night on Monday, March 10, 2025, recognizing the outstanding achievements of 260 local high school seniors! 🏅📚 West Liberty-Salem was well represented, with over one-third of the Class of 2025 invited for maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher over seven semesters. In addition to honoring these scholars, the Rotary Club awarded eight $1,000 scholarships, and we are thrilled to congratulate our very own Max Rudolph for being one of the recipients! 🎓👏 Max was recognized for his remarkable academic success and commitment to his community—a true testament to his passion for learning and community! The Rotary Honors Night is a cherished tradition that brings together students from various schools, fostering a sense of unity and shared pride in academic excellence. 🌟 Congratulations, Max!
