Dr. Jack Parry Award Nominees — Faith Thompson

Leading up to the annual Dr. Jack Parry Awards ceremony on June 15, CKSN will celebrate Chatham-Kent’s top student-athletes by featuring each local school’s nominees for 2023.

Faith exemplifies the qualities of a student-athlete, competing in multiple sports at the school level such as volleyball, basketball, and track while maintaining a consistently high average throughout her four years at Blenheim District High School.

Additionally, she played community hockey and soccer and was recognized for her contributions on many teams as either the most improved or most valuable player.

She is hardworking, demonstrates a positive attitude and is an active volunteer within the school and community. Her participation in youth events from scorekeeping to the Blenheim Youth Centre provides a positive example for youth in the community and makes her worthy of the nomination for this award.

Since 1994, Chatham Kent has recognized the top male and female graduating student athletes in each school. At the annual ceremony recognizing these top graduates, one male and one female are awarded the Dr. Parry Award along with a post secondary scholarship.

The award recognizes a balanced high degree of athletic ability, scholastic excellence, and contributions outside of the classroom to the school and community — a balance Dr. Parry himself embodied during his illustrious life.
