18 Middle School Students Named Take Stock in Children Scholars
September 21, 2010
Eighteen seventh grade students have been introduced as the newest Take Stock in Children scholars. Take Stock is a statewide program that operates locally under the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation.
Two of the students attend Ernest Ward Middle School — Amber Freeman and Carly Ward. Amber hopes to attend Florida State University and become a wildlife biologist. Carly hopes to attend the University of West Florida and become a hospital administrator.
In all, there were 108 Take Stock in Children students in grades 7-12 who will receive a Take Stock in Children four year tuition scholarship when they graduate from high school, as long as they maintain good grades, have a record of attendance and display good citizenship, as well as remaining crime and drug free. Donations from community businesses, organizations, individuals and foundations are used to purchase scholarships using matching funds from the Florida Prepaid College Foundation. The program includes weekly meetings at school with a community mentor.
The newest Take Stock in Children students include Nikita Babkin (Ransom Middle), Alyssa Barnes (Ferry Pass Middle), Destinee Brundidge (Brown Barge Middle), Danika Burgett (Bailey Middle), Shelby Butts (Bailey Middle), Amber Freeman (Ernest Ward Middle), Courtney Greene (Ferry Pass Middle), Elijah Harris (Brown Barge Middle), Savion Henderson (Brown Barge Middle), Brianna Holmquist (Ransom Middle), Mariah McMullen (Ferry Pass Middle), Zachary Sosby (Workman Middle), Austin Thomann (Ransom Middle), Austin Travis (Brown Barge Middle), Tara Vanderburg (Bellview Middle), Donald Vaughan, Jr. (Workman Middle), Carly Ward (Ernest Ward Middle), and Jazmin Womack (Workman Middle).

My daughter, Brianna, was a lucky recipient this year. We are so blessed and honored that she was chosen. She will make them proud as she is an excellent student and has big dreams for the future.
Congratulations to all, now just study hard, keep those grades up and don’t let stupid stuff along the way detour you from doing well in school, with your education. You may not think so right now, but an education means everything. I know all of you can do it… GOOD LUCK!
