Paoli High School senior Gunner Manning was recently named the winner of the 2022 Paoli High School Family History Essay Contest.
Each year the Paoli Senior Citizens Association and Museum sponsors a Family History Essay Contest for the Paoli High School senior class. The purpose of the essay contest is to capture the current history of families in the community.
Terry Erwin, president of the Paoli Senior Citizens Association and Museum, said while the association appreciates past endeavors to preserve Paoli’s history, they also want to continue gathering the family history of those who live in Paoli or attend Paoli Public School and make it a wonderful community to live in.
“Gunner submitted a very detailed and informative essay. He is also an outstanding academic student, as well as a young man with exceptional scholastic achievements and a promising focus for his life,” Erwin said. “We’d like to extend our congratulations to Gunner!”
The Paoli Senior Citizens meet on the first Thursday of each month to have a potluck lunch at the Senior Citizen’s building, 408 W. Davis Street in Paoli. It is open for any one who is 50 years and older.
In addition, the Paoli Senior Citizens Association rents their building for parties, dinners, and reunions at a daily rate of $150. Rental applications may be obtained by contacting Erwin at 405-238-8436.
