SYRACUSE — Wawasee Community School Corporation participated in a two-week jean-wearing activity that raised $3,191 for a new scholarship. The event also had many sponsors involved.

The scholarship was created in memory of Kim Conrad and her son, Stephen Conrad II, two prominent community involved residents who died in an accident in 2016. The community continues to pay tribute to the two individuals. The school corporation wanted to honor them. They hope to make this an annual event to help keep money in the scholarship fund.
