Our second annual WHRHS senior Maija Golden Rebel Scholarship was awarded tonight to Avery Noerr. Avery will be going to Montclair State this fall and is an amazingly talented girl with a big heart. We wish her all the best in college and in the future and so does Brooke Stanicki who came out tonight as well. Brooke was our first recipient last year. She just concluded her first year of college at Johns Hopkins.
