Erin Dickerson’s Prayer
Lord Our God,
We are all created in your image, yet we all have differing talents, abilities and callings. None of which are superior to another. All of which are needed in this world. Lord, help us to appreciate each other’s uniqueness and to see your image reflected in ourselves and all whom we encounter.
Amen.

Skilled Trade Scholarships
Gary Hansen introduced Fred Polizzi, the co-chair of the Skilled Trade Scholarships Committee who spoke today about the scholarships. Evelyn Griffith is the other co-chair of the committee.
The committee works with Centerville School Officials – Samantha Stingley, Marion Delatore and Kathy Berry.
The co-chairs will attend the next career day at CHS to help promote the scholarship program.
The committee co-chairs would like to thank the CNO Board of Directors and to all CNO members for their support of this valuable program.
The Skilled Trade Scholarships launched in 2019. This scholarship requires a guidance counselor’s recommendation with an emphasis on financial need and a desire to pursue a degree in the student’s chosen trade. In addition to financial assistance, each student will have two mentors. A scholarship to Sinclair University provides up to $750 per semester for up to six semesters, sufficient for an associate degree. A scholarship to Trade Schools is a one-time payment of $2500.
