Barnesville students awarded scholarships

Peyton Steed of Barnesville was awarded a scholarship Oct. 5 by the Vitalant Foundation at the NextUp Awards in recognition of his volunteer efforts in his community. A committee reviewed blinded submissions of the finalists and judged their philanthropic or charitable programs based on their direct impact on the community, the long-term outcomes, and whether the project can serve as a prototype for other communities.

Steed won in the ages 13 to 15 category for his work with KindnessU. He is a main leader and key to the club’s future success for continually proposing new fundraising ideas and playing a crucial role in increasing membership. The 100-member organization has raised almost $50,000 over the past four years.

Other finalists included Kennedy Little and Ryland Wehr, both of Barnesville, in the ages 13 to 15 category, and Landyn Wehr of Barnesville in the ages 12 and under category.
