The Bonnie J. Myers College Prep Support Fund celebrates Bonnie’s thirty-year career in the Barberton High School guidance office. This fund provides support for the cost of college preparatory programming or classes associated with applying for higher education.
Established in 2005, this fund honors Bonnie Myers and supports funding for the mum Arch display at the annual Mum Festival.
Her husband, Vic Myers, said “Bonnie and I volunteered from year one with the mums.” The mum arch is a “gift from the life of one to the life of many.”
There is a Bonnie mum named in honor of Bonnie Myers.
This fund is a tribute to Bonnie Myers’ love for education and assists Barberton High School graduates majoring in Secondary Education or Career and Technical Education (two-year associate degree in secretarial science) at Kent State University.
The fund was started by Vic Myers in memory of his wife, Bonnie Myers, who devoted 30 years of her career in the guidance office at Barberton High School. Bonnie and her husband Vic shared a passion for assisting students with their academic dreams and this scholarship continues the legacy started so long ago.
