Scout scholarship
Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania announced that Hannah Winn, Pine Grove, has received The Schuylkill County Scholarship in the amount of $1,000 for continued education at the 2014 Gold Award Ceremony at Milton Hershey High School, Hershey.
Hannah was chosen for the scholarship in recognition for her high level of academic achievement and outstanding successful track record as a Girl Scout.

She collected and distributed more than 100 bags of cleaning supplies to local families.

She was in the school's marching band, co-captain of the Quiz Bowl team, vice president of the Foreign Languages Club, a member of National Honor Society and stage manager for the school's musicals. She will attend Penn State University, University Park campus, and study environmental sciences and French.
Hannah is a graduate of Pine Grove Area High School.
