The Grafton Community Library and the Grafton Historical Society are pleased to announce that the Ethel Simmons Memorial Award contest is being offered once again to Grafton High School seniors who are to graduate this year. Public school, private school and home schooled students are eligible to apply. The award is $500 to the student who submits the winning essay. The deadline to apply is May 1.
Applicants must submit an essay on some aspect of Grafton’s history – people, places, buildings or events. Application forms with guidelines are available at school guidance offices, the Library, the Grafton Town Hall or by contacting the Historical Society at historicgrafton@aol.com. Students seeking assistance with resource material may contact the Historical Society to make an appointment to use their materials.
