If you’ve stepped outside today, you already know: it’s so cold, even your coffee needs a coat. With arctic temps sticking around and possible snow on the way, consider this your official reminder to layer up, drive safely, and maybe just stay inside if you can. But if you are venturing out, I’ve got your weekend events lined up (frostbite not included).

In today’s South Side Scoop:

Let’s get to it!

The Town of Whiteland is offering two $1,000 Otto Lewis Memorial scholarships to graduating seniors from Whiteland Community High School who demonstrate compassion and community involvement. Interested students must complete an application and submit two letters of recommendation. Applications are available now, and the deadline to apply is Friday, March 20th. Don’t miss this opportunity to support local students!

Congratulations to four Center Grove High School juniors, Campbell Ehresman, Raj Jain, Katie Nguyen, and Daisy Riley, who have been recognized as Rising Stars of Indiana by the Indiana Association of School Principals. This prestigious honor highlights exceptional academic achievement, leadership, and community involvement among high school juniors across the state. Congratulations to these Trojans!

🍦 The Scoop is built for the South Side, by the South Side. If you want to help keep it strong, you can support for as little as $2/month. 👉 Support the Scoop here
