Senior Andrew Blum was awarded Runza Student of the Week and received a $500 scholarship. Reporters visited GCHS March 28 to interview and congratulate Blum. In order to be selected for this award, a student must be recommended by an administrator. In this case, it was Associate Principal Richard Nickerson who nominated Blum.

“Runza looks for people who are involved in the community, as well as in the high school,” said Blum.

Despite his numerous accomplishments, Blum is humbled by this award. “I feel honored that Mr. Nickerson thought of me when thinking of someone to recommend,” said Blum. He is also honored by Runza’s choice to pick him out of the numerous applicants.
