NCHS Scholarship T-Bill Drive

NCHS Scholarship Drive Committee Co-Chairs Kathy Schulte, Roberta Peet and Lisa Isherwood with Alex Stewart and Doug Stewart, of Walter Stewart’s Market

Stewart’s shoppers: Thanks to your support and patronage Walter Stewart’s will donate $1601.89 to the NCHS Scholarship Foundation.
Walter Stewart’s Market is holding its annual Donation Days T-Bill week to benefit the New Canaan High School Scholarship Foundation from Sunday, April 7th, through Saturday, April 13th.  Throughout the week, Stewart’s customers are invited to donate “T-Bill” balances they earn shopping at the store. Walter Stewart’s will match T-Bill balances designated by shoppers with a monetary donation to the New Canaan High School Scholarship Foundation.
The NCHS Scholarship Foundation is a long-standing community effort to provide financial aid for New Canaan High School graduates pursuing higher education.  The Foundation’s annual “Scholarship Sunday” will be held this year on Sunday, April 7.  This is the day that NCHS students wearing Scholarship Drive T-Shirts will knock on doors throughout New Canaan to raise funds for college scholarships for fellow NCHS students.
Each year, Walter Stewart’s starts its Donation Days T-Bill week for the NCHS Scholarship Foundation on Scholarship Sunday.  “The NCHS Scholarship Drive is such an important annual campaign and we are pleased to support it again this year, said Alex Stewart.  “We encourage Stewart’s shoppers to donate their T-bills again this year.”
