Class of 1956 unites and endows scholarship

 

The “Class of 1956” took the phrase “be true to your school” to the next level.  The class who graduated 343 students 50 years ago pooled together and raised over $25,000.  The funds will be used to endow an annual scholarship through the administration of the Education Foundation of Mason City Public Schools.

 

Classmate Sue (Penney) McDevitt ignited the effort that received donations from over 60 students.

 

To make a donation to this scholarship fund, please send funds to the Education Foundation of Mason City Public Schools, 1515 S. Pennsylvania, Mason City, IA 50401.
