Junior Achievement (J.A.) of North Central Michigan recently awarded Lynn and Linda Gruber, both of Hemlock Semiconductor Operations LLC, with the “Volunteer of the Year” award for their work volunteering in Mrs. Whitford’s economics classes at Hemlock High School.
Mr. and Mrs. Gruber were recognized during the Junior Achievement’s Annual Hall of Fame dinner event held at the Horizon’s Conference Center on Thursday, May 3rd, 2018. They are parents of current Hemlock High School students Jordan and Jarrett Weigold.
Mr. and Mrs. Gruber have volunteered with J.A. for the past seven years and have been involved in coaching “Titan Challenge” teams as well as teaching the J.A. Personal Finance class. The program teaches students concepts and planning methods around earnings, savings, budgeting, credit and being a savvy consumer.
