WAYNESBORO, Va. (WHSV) – Athletes at Fishburne Military School were honored on Wednesday evening at its spring sports banquet.
mvp, most improved, 和 senior cadets accepted some awards, 和 at the end of the evening, seniors who are continuing their athletic careers shared what school they will be heading to.
The General Manager of CMA’s Valley Dealerships Scott Simons shared some words of wisdom with the cadets.
“You learn about adversity, team building, how to keep yourself in good physical shape,” Simons said.
Simons ran a local youth football program years ago, but the team didn’t have a home football field, causing them to drive to neighboring counties just to play. After asking Fishburne Military School to use the fields, they offered it free of charge. He said he has been proud to support the school since then.
“My wife 和 I are proud to say that because they opened up their doors to the community,” Simons said. “This is the fourth year my wife 和 I have donated $100,000 to the school.”
He said he donates through the Virginia Education Improvement Scholarships for Tax Credit Program.
