Stu Grant Gavel Scholarship 1102 Westwood Drive - Mt. Carmel, IL - 62863 (618)262-7691 - moblevgrantauctions@gmail.com
April 15, 2021
Dear Senior of CEO, 4H, or FFA,
Thank you for your interest in the Stu Grant Gavel Scholarship! Our family is pleased to offer a $1,000 scholarship in honor of our late father Stu. Stu was a man who firmly believed in faith, family, and community. We would like for you to write a two-page essay on what these important pillars of life mean to you, as you begin to think about the next stage of your life. It is important in our family to stay grounded, humble, and to help others in need. These three pillars are what we feel important to maintaining that character and integrity in a person. The scholarship will be awarded to the student who exemplifies these characteristics and has a full understanding of how important they are in everyday life.
The scholarship is funded through an annual glow golf tournament held in Mt. Carmel. The first annual tourney was held in September of 2018 and was a great success. It is our hope to expand in the coming years on the tourney and look forward to the day that you may play in it too.
In submitting your application for the scholarship, please feel free to expand on your future interests, such as, where you may be attending college, what major you plan to hold, and what you would like to do upon graduation. The award will be given on May 14, 2021 at Honor's Night at MCHS. Thank you again for your interest, and may God Bless!
Sincerely,
Stu Grant Gavel Scholarship

Mt. Carmel High School Music Department presents: The Addams Family, A musical comedy.
Class of 2021,
Practice is scheduled for Monday, May 10, at 10:00 am, in Gym 1.
Honors' Night is scheduled for Friday, May 14, at 7:00 pm, in Gym 1.
Graduation is scheduled for Saturday, May 15, at 10:00 am, at Riverview Stadium.
Rain time #1 is 7:00 pm, Saturday, May 15
Rain time #2 is 2:00 pm, Sunday, May 16
Again, Mandatory Honors' Night and Graduation practice is scheduled for Monday, May 10th, at 10:00 am. We will start in the gym and get a class picture, then a lot of information out at that time. This is also the time to pick up gowns and other materials from Jostens. From there, we will move downstairs to the concession stand area by the football field.
It is our hope to have one (1) practice. This is entirely up to the class by showing up on time and staying focused for the time we need to get it done. We will not start until everyone is there, so if you have a classmate that you know may struggle to be on time, be his or her alarm clock/motivation/car ride/etc.
As it has been for eons, you must attend the practice and Honors' NIght if you want to participate in the graduation ceremony on Saturday. You will also need to make sure all fees are paid prior to the Graduation ceremony if you plan to participate. Rachael is sending invoices out this week.
As of right now, we are not setting a specific guest limit for Honors' Night as it is usually not heavily attended. We do ask each family to be considerate when inviting non-vaccinated guests to an indoor gathering. We do not want to get into a situation where we reach our capacity and have to turn people away. Graduation will not have a guest limit.
Email Mr. Newkirk if you have any questions.
