WEBSTER - “This is a lot of money for a small community,” said Webster High School Principal Tim Widiker as he prepared to distribute $41,000 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors at the academic awards night Friday, May 6. All of the scholarship money came from businesses, agencies and individuals that are part of the larger Webster community. “Education is an investment,” Widiker continued. “Tonight you get paid for your job.” Before the scholarships were presented, Widiker named Callan Brown as the salutatorian and Shaina Pardun as the valedictorian for this year’s graduating class. – Carl Heidel Saunders Family, $10,000, Greg McIntyre Roberto Pearson Memorial, $500, Connor Pierce American Legion Auxiliary, $250, Bryana Andren, Callan Brown, Siiri Larsen American Legion Post 96, $250, Ben Jensen Burnett County HCE, $250, Samantha Kopecky Bremer Bank, $500, Annie Kelby St. John’s/Our Lady’s CCW, $250, Dan Dochniak Danbury Fire and Rescue, $500, Callan Brown, Tiffany DeMarre, Michelle Gibbs Danbury Lions Club, Devin Greene, Ben Jensen, Samantha Kopecky Jim Baker Memorial, $100, Lincoln Spafford Webster Scholarship Committee, $250, Jenna Anderson, Bryana Andren, Callan Brown, Tiffani DeMarre, Michelle Gibbs, Devin Greene, Billie Ingalls, Annie Kelby, Samantha Kopecky, Siiri Larsen, Greg McIntrye, Shaina Pardun, Connor Pierce, Kayce Rachner, Breeanna Watral, Elise Windbiel Federated Co-ops Inc., $200, Lincoln Spafford, Allison Rydel Grateful Graduate, $1,000, Jayme Mitchell
