SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED: Twenty $500 scholarships have been awarded to employees, or their immediate family members, at the Cardinal Cushing School in Hanover through a fund created in the memory of Sister M. Shawn Dunn. She came to the school as its principal in 1949 and later became superintendent, staying until 1975.

The Hanover school, for people with diverse special needs and their families, is Hanover's largest employer. The school also has a facility in Braintree.
