Looking Ahead It’s Looking Good

Last month our Chamber announced the awarding of student scholarships to 11 deserving high school seniors. The level of their community involvement and academic achievement, particularly during this most difficult year, was truly amazing. Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce certificates and scholarships awards will be presented to Kimberly Blood, Brendon Pehar, Cadie Carlson, Conner Harvey, Lorianne Bodnar, Alden Marriott, Juliana Merida, Bet-Sua Joza Perez Marcial, Solmih Kim, Sarah Ricci and Kyeongseo Jeong. Congratulations and continued success to each of our scholarship recipients.
