Clifford E. Paine Volunteerism Award

  • The Fennville Public School Board of Education, in its desire to provide a lasting recognition to Clifford E. Paine, Jr. for his nineteen years of dedicated service to the school district, established the Clifford E. Paine Volunteerism award in 1989.

    The purpose of this award is to promote the concept of community volunteerism by the students of the district, and to provide special recognition for others who may volunteer their time and talents toward the improvement of educational opportunities in the district.

    This is an annual award and will be presented to a member of the Fennville community who has distinguished himself or herself through community volunteerism and/or toward the improvement of educational opportunities for students in the District.
