A VERY Special AVID SUCCESS Scholarship Donation Story! "They would be proud of the recipients of this scholarship award and will always be with the recipients in spirit." Betsy Bergeron was seeking a way to help students while also recognizing the spirit of her late parents, Joan Belmont Bergeron and William Bergeron. So she spoke to Mara Subach, AVID Site Coordinator at GHS and then called the Alliance. Betsy's generous gift of $50K will be distributed over 10 years as part of the AVID SUCCESS Scholarship Fund. Joan and Willam Bergeron were first generation Americans who embodied the work ethic of the early 20th Century American Dream. They valued education and giving back to the community. They both graduated from Greenwich High School and were good students and athletes. |
