(KAIR)--Atchison’s Maur Hill-Mount Academy, Saturday evening, will host its annual League of Saint Maur Dinner, and with the event comes honors for special recipients.
Named as the 2022 Fidelis Award winners are Atchison’s Richard and Ginger Hunninghake, whose four children also attended Atchison Catholic education.
A release from the school calls the Hunninghake’s “outstanding supporters,” and refers to Richard, commonly known as “Dick,” as “a legend.”
A longtime teacher, and coach at the school, Hunninghake retired from his role as MH-MA Assistant Principal/Athletic Director last year.
Dick’s wife, Ginger, is a native of Atchison, who has received numerous honors for her role in the Atchison community, which includes involvement with the Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce, along with 14-years of oversight involvement with Atchison’s annual LakeFest concert. Currently serving as the Vice-Chair of the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum, Ginger is also cited for her service as Parent Club President for MH-MH, as well as other roles of service.
The Fidelis award is presented annually, and was created to recognize individuals that have made a lasting impact on Maur Hill-Mount Academy in the spirit of Christ.
Also to receive recognition during Saturday’s ceremony will be Theresa Worman, a 1989 graduate who is named as the 2022 “Alumni of the Year” recipient.
According to the release, Worman was born and raised in Antigo, Wisconsin, but came to Atchison after her parents purchased the local Dairy Queen. She went to high school at Mount St. Scholastica and has, as the release puts it, “been a supporter of Maur Hill-Mount Academy ever since.”
The League of Saint Maur Dinner will be held Saturday evening, beginning at 5:00, at the Kansas City Airport Marriott.
The release explains that the League, a private membership that provides ongoing support to further the mission of Maur Hill-Mount Academy, was begun by Father Edwin Watson, OSB in 1965. Coming to an end in the 1990’s, it was reestablished by MH-MA President Phil Baniewicz.
