The Rotary Club of Ishpeming has generously donated $500 to support Westwood High School students as they prepare to attend the BPA National Leadership Conference in Chicago in May. The donation will help offset expenses for students participating in the conference.
Three Westwood juniors, Kaya Etelamaki, Isabella Grohowski and Clara Kruger, met with members of the Rotary Club to receive the check. They expressed their appreciation for the support of local businesses in Ishpeming.
Etelamaki noted, “It's a very nice feeling that businesses are helping us and helping their community and their schools near them.” Grochowski added, “I feel like I can do that. And they're there for me if I can't do it, so it's just amazing.” Kruger said: “I feel very supported. I feel more like a part of our community.”
Those interested in supporting Westwood Business Professionals of America students are encouraged to contact Westwood High School. This generous contribution from the Rotary Club of Ishpeming demonstrates the community's commitment to investing in the future leaders of tomorrow.
