Prior Lake Rotarians participated in a very inspirational Bridges Senior Recognition Banquet on Monday June 4th at The Wilds. Bridges is the Alternative Learning Center for Prior Lake - Savage School District. On Monday evening students were recognized for overcoming a variety of obstacles to graduate from high school. Prior Lake Rotary Club sponsors the STRIVE program at Bridges, STRIVE which stands for "Students Taking a Renewed Interest in the Value of Education" provides Rotarian and non-Rotarian mentors to students. Students and their mentors set goals and mentors awarded their students $500 scholarships Monday evening for achieving their goals. The most improved student was awarded $750.
