NSA Announces Scholarship Winners

The Newtown Scholarship Association (NSA) has announced that 15 seniors

graduating from Newtown High School this year were awarded scholarships

totaling $37,400.

Winners of the scholarships were announced at graduation ceremonies Thursday.

The Carl LeGrow Scholarship is traditionally awarded to the highest ranking
