At a recent award ceremony at Sacred Heart School, Laurel Kelsheimer and Caleb Sands were awarded the Michael Grant O’Connell Memorial Award. This award was presented in memory of 2nd Lt. Michael Grant O’Connell. O’Connell was killed in action during active duty in 1969 in Vietnam. Every year for over 30 years, two outstanding students from Sacred Heart School have been honored in O’Connell’s memory. The award is presented to students who have Christian-like attitudes, high academic scores and participate in sports and school activities. Pictured (L to R) are, front row: Lila O’Connell, Michael’s mother; Kelsheimer; Sands; back row: Grant Lukens, Michael's nephew; and Pat O’Connell, Michael’s brother.
