C. Gordon Rook Scholarship
Ethan Larsen - Yorkton Regional High School. C. Gordon Rook Leadership Award $1000
​
Ethan is a student whose Leadership has excelled at YRHS as a result of his creativity and detail-oriented planning skills. He does not seek attention when planning and running events, but rather his motivation is simply to create entertaining and fun activities for our student body. Over the last two years he has planned three Amazing Race activities for over 100 students in each race. His work has allowed YRHS staff and students the opportunity to build relationships outside of the classroom and in our community through these events.
Ethan has high standards and a willingness to go the extra mile for others despite his many extra-curricular commitments. He has worked coaching and refereeing many youth in our community through Taekwondo. He is also a private pilot who is working towards becoming a commercial pilot. His community focus, humility and kindness truly make him stand out in our building. Ethan is an exceptional student who has always shied away from attention and recognition, so it is especially rewarding to know that he is being honored with the C. Gordon Rook Leadership Award. - Lana Stanek-Sebastian, SRC Advisor
SASCA Scholarship
Reese Willness is the recipient of the $1000 S.A.S.C.A. Leadership Scholarship for 2025. Reese Willness, a friendly, nurturing, and smiley leader, had served on William Mason School's Student Representative Council since Grade 7 and held the position of Vice-President in her Grade 12 year. In Grade 11, Reese enthusiastically stepped in as Treasurer halfway through the year, spearheading fundraisers to create a new student lounge in our school. Through her efforts, Choiceland students now have a place that they can call their own in the school, leaving behind a legacy of student engagement and belonging at William Mason School. In addition to being an active role model in school, Reese often spent her time volunteering at fall suppers, assisting with coaching for the Smeaton Skating Club, Smeaton Rec Center, snowmobile rallies, bonspiels or Smeaton Legion events. Her future plans include continuing to volunteer in her home community of Smeaton and pursuing a career of helping others by attending Saskatchewan Polytechnic for Licensed Practical Nursing. Congratulations Reese!

Adisson Palmer is a well deserving winner of the SASCA Leadership Scholarship of $500 for her dedication and volunteerism at 33 Central School in Fillmore as well as in community. Adisson has been heavily involved in student leadership in her school, serving as SRC chair for two years in addition to her previous years of service. She also joined her school’s GSA club, been a key member of the newly formed yearbook committee that hadn’t been in existence since 2015, and was chosen player/captain of both her volleyball and track and field team. Furthermore, her community involvement is equally impressive as she has volunteered at dinner theatres, craft and community fairs plus is an assistant dance teacher. Mr. Drew Paquette stated that Adisson’s “high academic achievements, leadership experience and unwavering commitment to personal and community growth make her an invaluable asset in any setting.” Congratulations Adisson!
Olivia Tan is a hardworking student who is a natural leader, always ready to guide and inspire peers with confidence and enthusiasm. Her creativity shines in tackling challenges with innovative solutions, and she consistently gives back to the community through dedicated volunteer work. Olivia is a high achieving student who approaches assignments and challenges with fresh perspectives, thinking outside the box to find unique solutions rather than relying on standard methods. She has been a valuable member of the Winston High School Student Representative in Watrous, SK for the past 5 years where she spearheaded many successful events. Olivia’s leadership skills will be greatly missed at Winston High School but she has done a great job of inspiring the next generation of student leaders. In the fall, Olivia plans to study at the University of Saskatchewan, in the College of Education in the Early/Middle Years Program.
