Glenmore Distillery recently awarded a “Glenmore Gives” grant to Heritage Park High School to purchase backpacks for their students.
Justin Rhinerson, who serves as bottling assistant manager at Glenmore, presented a check for $2,300 to Joshua Scherrer on Tuesday.
Scherrer — who teaches U.S. history, government and economics at Heritage Park — applied for the grant to provide support and assistance for HPHS students as they transition from in-person to remote learning on the A/B schedule.
“Because our students are now required to carry laptops, chargers and individual school supplies to and from school during in-person instruction, we wanted to provide equitable access to HPHS-branded backpacks,” he said. “This will allow our students to stay better organized and keep their materials more secure. With the financial uncertainty COVID-19 has brought to many of our families, we are thrilled to alleviate a small portion of that burden by providing these backpacks to our students.”
