18 Middle School Students Named Take Stock in Children Scholars

October 2, 2011

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.

The students 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 scholars are  Legacy Byers and Juliana Cunningham, Bailey Middle School; Tristan Helfritz and Meghan Hermance, Bellview Middle; Si’Miah Johnson and Selena Williams, Brown-Barge Middle; Alston Wiggins, Ernest Ward Middle; Deonna Lewis and De’Aja Woods, Ferry Pass Middle; Ashley Frye and Sue Ann Tucker, Ransom Middle; Jervae Cannon and Darin Rudolph Redick, Warrington Middle; Quadell Evans, Kaitlyn Negron and Maria Silva, Woodham Middle; and Taylor Lopes and Krislyn Yoakum, Workman Middle.
