RRSF Gives Back

The Roanoke Rapids Schools Foundation awarded more than $3000 in 2019 to the Roanoke Rapids High School music department for the purchase of six keyboards.  The money is part of an endowment established by Mac Newsom to support the arts within the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District.  
 

“I established this endowment because the arts mean so much to me.  When I was a student at Roanoke Rapids High School many years ago I remember singing in the Glee Club and being part of the stage plays.  As funding for the arts has been cut across the country, I wanted to do something to keep the arts active in our schools.  I’m hoping others will join me by contributing to this endowment,” Newsom said.  

Additional funds will be awarded to the RRHS Art Department in the coming months.  

Newsom established a $100,000 endowment with scholarships being presented yearly to deserving art programs within the district.
