Grossman said that when he came on board a year ago, he gave the board a card and a M&M candy stating it would be a “Magical and Memorable” year, which it certainly was. This year, he gave the board a 100 Grand Bar candy bar and thanked board members for their hard work over the past year.
The Community Scholarship Association of Granby (CSAG) offers annual scholarships to graduating Granby Memorial High School seniors. Applicants must be Granby residents who are soon-to-be graduates that have been accepted at an institution of higher learning approved by the selection committee.
Children who will be five years of age on or before Jan. 1, 2022 must be registered for the 2021-22 school year.
