The Manheim Township Educational Foundation (MTEF) announced the winners of the 2021 James L. and Jane Louise Wertz Memorial Award. The award is presented to two Manheim Township freshmen and acknowledges outstanding improvement in academics, social skills, volunteerism, and athletics. Selected by freshman class educators, the 2021 winners of the Wertz Memorial Award are Hadassah Innocent and Logan Mink.
In a Zoom meeting on June 3, MTEF presented the awards to Hadassah and Logan, who were joined by their families, and applauded their success in embracing change and personal growth in a year full of extraordinary challenges. The students received a certificate and a check in recognition of their accomplishments.
The award is presented memory of James L. Wertz and his sister, Jane Louise Wertz. James graduated from Manheim Township High School in 1982 and passed away in 2006. Jane graduated in 1985 and passed away in July 2014. Their parents established this award through the MTEF to honor their belief that success is found through hard work. James and Jane's parents understand that the transition from middle school to high school can be difficult for students. Therefore, this award recognizes two students who demonstrated a great deal of positive growth during their freshman year.
