MANCHESTER – Township officials honored a “super senior” during a recent Township Council meeting with the presentation of a proclamation.
Mayor Joseph Hankins presented the special proclamation to the community’s “very own ‘super senior,’ Charles Scott, in recognition of his graduation from Manchester Township High School and his outstanding contributions to the community.”
Scott graduated on June 20 of this year and for the past two years, he has been a dedicated participant in the Manchester High School’s Structured Learning Experience Program. Through this initiative, he has devoted his time each week to the Manchester Township Municipal Clerk’s Office,
where he quickly became a valued and trusted member of the team.
During his time with the township, he tackled a wide range of responsibilities including paper shredding, preparing mailings, decorating for the holidays, and handling critical computer tasks.
The mayor’s proclamation noted Scott’s reliability, attention to detail, and cheerful presence that has left a lasting impact on all who worked with him.
“Charles’s contributions went far beyond his job description. He became a part of our township family, and we are so proud of the work he has done and the bright future ahead of him,” the mayor said during the council meeting.
The mayor added, “Charles, an avid reader with a strong connection to the library, dreams of one day becoming a librarian – a goal we are confident he will achieve with the same heart and dedication he brought to Manchester Township.”
The mayor noted heartfelt congratulations to Charles Scott on his graduation and thanked him for his remarkable service. “We wish him the very best as he begins this exciting new chapter.”
Municipal Clerk Teri Giercyk said that she and the entire Clerk’s Office staff have cherished his presence and support.
Giercyk told The Manchester Times, “Charles was a pleasure and joy to have in the office. He is a detail oriented hard worker! He has a specialty of remembering your birthday and could tell you which day of the week you were born on.”
“He enjoys bowling and could out score all of us in the Clerk’s office. He also enjoys singing and would treat us with a song every once in a while,” she added.
