M’CHIGEENG – The 2022 Manitoulin Secondary School (MSS) Awards Night ceremonies were once again truncated by the strictures of the pandemic, but undaunted, the Manitoulin Island community once again rose to the occasion by contributing over $50,000 in awards to MSS grads who have gone on to post-secondary studies.
Although the awards ceremonies could not be held in person again this year, the bursary bearing envelopes still got through.
“Welcome to MSS’s 52nd Annual Awards’ Night, said principal David Wiwchar in his address to students in the 2022 program, parents and community leaders. “This is a special event designed to honour our graduates. Due to the continued generosity of our Manitoulin Island community, over $50,000 will be awarded to our graduates this year. We are proud of our graduates. They are a part of MSS’s colourful history. Their contributions have left a unique mark on our school. It is our sincere hope that we have been able to prepare our graduates with the skills necessary to be successful in their chosen area of interest.”
“We at MSS have every confidence that our graduates will continue to be outstanding citizens of our Canadian communities,” continued Principal Wiwchar. “We trust that we have played an important role in assisting them to accomplish their goals. We thank our parents and community for their ongoing, overwhelming support of Manitoulin Secondary School. We are truly a community school. It is due to the generous contributions of our community that we are able to assist our students in their post-secondary endeavours. To the numerous businesses, individuals, service groups, community groups and organizations who have contributed, thank you for your ongoing sponsorship.”
Principal Wiwchar noted the Manitoulin Student Aid Committee is comprised of “caring people from across our community who worked very hard to ensure that the following awards have been distributed appropriately and fairly. We extend our thanks to this group of people for their dedication to the organization.”
