Member Events & News Local Business Makes a Difference for Two High School Graduates On May 7, Integrity Roofing, Siding & Windows presented Alana Cieszykowski and Andrew DeShon, two Summit Christian Academy graduating students, with $1,000 scholarships. Each student applied by writing an

essay on what integrity means to them and how they have demonstrated it.

Cieszykowski explained how doing the right thing came at a cost, “I learned that even though doing the right thing may cause the loss of friendships, you should always stand your ground...”

DeShon wrote, “…when one exhibits the same traits in private that he does in public, he exhibits integrity.” He shared that even though he depends on scholarships to attend college, he never faltered in his integrity when it came to achieving good grades.

This is the third year Integrity has provided these scholarships. “It’s important to us to support the community we work in,” explains David Todd, owner of Integrity Roofing, Siding & Windows.
