Grace Bailey and Caleiah Woods were presented with a scholarship from the Lewis "Eddie" Winstead Memorial Fund today. Part of the mission of this organization is to support student-athletes interested in pursuing education in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through mentorship.
Bailey, who plays basketball, and Woods, who plays golf, are exceptional students who plan to pursue degrees in STEM after graduation. We are so proud of them and thankful to the committee for the Lewis 'Eddie' Winstead Memorial Fund, Inc. for coming today, sharing about their mission, and supporting these amazing student-athletes.

A few reminders
* Students who are currently attending Roxboro Community School DO NOT need to re-apply to attend next school year.
