Mario Suratos Memorial Scholarship

Last night, my mom, sisters and I attended the St. Andrew's Elementary School graduation dinner and ceremony.

We don't know anyone at the school graduating, but the school and parish have played a big part in our lives. It's where we all went to school, it's where my Pa sang in the choir, where we had his service, and where my mom and sis still attend church.

Last night we gave away the first ever Mario Suratos Memorial Scholarship to this cutie.

His name is Ervin.

The prize awarded yearly to a graduating student for excellence in academics, math, and kindness towards his fellow classmates and staff. I'm sure my Pa is smiling, somewhere.
