🌟 SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT 🌟
🎓 Congratulations, Jake Hubbell!
Jake's love of working with his hands started young, thanks to weekends spent building tables and decks, tending the garden, and learning what it means to show up, all alongside his grandpa. He's a graduate of Menomonie High School and the recipient of the Bruce Schley & Roger Brunn Memorial Scholarship. This fall, he's heading to Chippewa Valley Technical College to join their Plumbing Apprenticeship Program.
"When I was younger, my grandpa would take me for a weekend, and we'd head to my uncle Tom's, and we'd tend the garden and build huge projects like tables and decks. I'd pick up sticks with a tractor, hunt, and do other childhood activities. This was important to me because my grandpa taught me how to be a man."
Here's to you, Jake! We're cheering you on as you head off to start your apprenticeship this fall. 💛
