"You have the possibility of
making a million dollars more over your career if you get a college degree!"
said Barry Thacker to the Briceville 4th and 5th graders to begin Coal Creek
Scholars Day.
We think this is the most valuable day of the year at Briceville School! Nine former Briceville School students and Coal Creek Nantglo scholarship winners came together to encourage the 4th and 5th graders at Briceville School to study hard, help their community, and get involved in a variety of activities so they can attend college one day. |
||||
The scholars led a panel discussion and took questions from the students about what they need to begin early to prepare for college, their choices for college and careers, how they are learning a variety of ways to succeed in college, and what a difference it is making in their lives. |

The Scholars played Santa's helpers and delivered gifts to
each student in the school from Kindergarten to Fifth grade. Gifts
included books, puzzles, beanie babies, games, craft kits, candy and
ornaments. The children were excited to get a few early gifts from
Santa. |
