Although spring will soon be here there are many winter updates and spring announcements from various departments at Granby Town Hall.
The Granby Police Department is seeking donations towards the newly-formed student scholarship that will be awarded annually. For 2025, Granby PD has partnered with participating Granby Memorial High School senior students to redesign the Granby PD Challenge Coin. The winner of the design contest will be chosen by a panel and publicly announced during the annual GMHS Awards Assembly in the spring. Through artistic interpretation, the coin will serve as a symbol of GPD’s shared commitment to community service.
Monetary donations to the scholarship fund will contribute to the purchase and distribution of Granby PD Challenge Coins and to the growth of the student scholarship fund. Granby PD is seeking to raise $3,000. The scholarship is an investment in our community’s future and with your help, we can make it possible.
Checks can be made out to Granby Boe Student Scholarship Account, memo “challenge coin” and mailed to 15-B North Granby Road, Granby, CT 06035, ATTN: Scholarships
Individuals or businesses interested in sponsoring or donating to the scholarship, should contact Sgt. Kreimes by email at ekreimes@granby-ct.gov or by phone at 860-844-5339.
