CANTON—Ian Weems of Canton Central School District, a student in the Digital Media Design program at the Seaway Career & Technical Education Center, is the March recipient of the Potsdam Rotary Club’s Rev. William R. and Crystal E. Cuthbert Vocational Excellence Award Sponsored by Brookfield Renewable U.S.

Ian Weems is the son of Dylan and Corina Weems.

At a Rotary luncheon honoring Weems, he met with Potsdam Rotarians and was commended for his academic excellence by Seaway Tech instructor Jobie McCarthy

“Ian is a very hard-working student,” said McCarthy. “He has great attendance and consistent work habits.  He is reliable and gets along well with adults and his peers.  He is a student leader and represents the program as needed”.

Weems plans on pursuing the field of digital media design when he completes the program at the end of this school year.
