This afternoon, at Interlachen Jr.-Sr. High, Sidney Williams was surprised by family and school staff as her Take Stock in Family mentor announced she was 1 of 12 finalist in the State of Florida for the Leaders 4 Life Fellowship and Scholarship.
Every student in Take Stock in Children receives a mentor to help them reach high school graduation and they work with a College Success Coach to help make sure they are on track and prepared for transition to post-secondary education. Upon graduation and successful completion of TSIC, students receive a 60-credit hour Florida PrePaid Scholarship.
Sidney was awarded an Apple Macbook for being one of the finalists. Being selected for the Leaders 4 Life Fellowship would provide up to $10,000 a year while attending a 4-year public University in Florida (Up to $40,000) in addition to the Florida PrePaid Scholarship she has already earned.
Sidney takes all of her classes at Santa Fe College. She attends IJSHS for TSIC meetings and for extra curricular activities. She is a very smart and accomplished young lady and we are so PROUD of her!

For families of students at Jenkins Elementary School: This morning shortly after school began, a school administrator found a BB gun in a bathroom on campus. The school enacted a lock down until the situation could be investigated. Putnam County Sheriff's Office deputies on scene determined there was no threat and the found BB gun was unloaded and inoperable. The lockdown was lifted and school has resumed as normal. Deputies and school staff are continuing to investigate, but at this time there is believed to be no threat to the campus, students, faculty or staff. A call was made earlier by school administrators to all Jenkins Elementary families immediately after the lockdown through our School Messenger system. If you have a student at Jenkins Elementary, and did not receive that call, please be sure that you update your contact information with the school. Thank you!
