THURSDAY:

Two Coal Creek Scholars Graduate!

Super proud of two of our Coal Creek Scholars graduating this week: Kaleasha Welch received her degree in Surgery Technology and Cassie Phillips earned her Practical Nurse degree. They sure make us look smart that we chose them for our scholarships and I know they will inspire other Briceville students to stay in school and study hard. http://www.coalcreekaml.com/ScholarsProgramPage.htm
