During the Rotary meeting on Friday, July 24, 2015, Canton Rotarian  and "Character Counts" Chairman, Dean Gogolewski, presented the Mayfield Scholarship Awards to McKinley Senior High School recipient, Kathleen Wyler, and Timken Senior High School recipient, Caleb Robinson.

 

Dean Gogolewski relayed the following on behalf of the respective high schools:

 

"Kathleen Wyler is a strong academic student at McKinley High School with a rigorous schedule, and is also involved extensively in the school.  She has promoted school spirit through academics, athletics, and clubs. Her presence is notable in our school and community.  Ranked 14th in her class, Kathleen has maintained a cumulative GPA of 4.26.  Not only is she an outstanding scholar, she also serves as President of the Band. She has remained active in the band for four years, participating in marching band, concert band, jazz band, and pep band.  She has competed in solo and ensemble and has been a strong representative of McKinley.

 

As a golfer at McKinley for four years, she is to be admired as she faced a challenging season and continued to compete with great sportsmanship. Kathleen aspires to become an occupational therapist to fulfill her desire to positively impact the lives of others.  To this end, she has volunteered at Aultman Hospital and Aultman Heart Association.  In recognition of her character, scholarship, leadership, and community service, Kathleen has been inducted into the National Honor Society. She was also chosen as a Canton Scholar and was recognized along with her peers at a banquet on April 20th."

 

"Caleb Robinson is studying Early Childhood Education at Timken.  He exemplifies all of the pillars of Character; most especially trustworthiness, respect and responsibility.  In his work with young students in the elementary schools he treats everyone the way he wants to be treated.  He is well liked by all students, the youngsters he works with and his fellow students.  Because of his work ethic and attitude, he is a favorite of the staff as well.  He is always smiling and willing to help anyone in any way.

 

Caleb's nickname is Speedy.  He got this name in grade school because he is always running.  He is an athlete-- 3 years with the track team, 4 years with the boys basketball team and 3 years on the football team.  He works hard at everything he does at Timken.  He is looking forward to heading to Charleston University in West Virginia to study Early Childhood Education and become a special education teacher.
