Ada Zeta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta awards two grants to Caswell County teachers and North Elementary
Summary
The Ada Zeta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta presented a $500 'legacy of excellence' scholarship to a beginning teacher and a $1,000 grant to support beginning‑teacher workshops at North Elementary; the chapter described the awards as part of year‑long support for educators.
The Ada Zeta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority presented two grants to Caswell County Schools during the board meeting on March 23. Cicely Alston, chapter president, said the Ada Zeta legacy of excellence scholarship recognizes and supports beginning teachers and presented $500 to Jada Studa (identified in the transcript as the scholarship recipient). The chapter also presented a $1,000 grant to North Elementary for a supporting beginning‑teachers program; the program’s proposal described a workshop to share strategies from veteran educators.
Alston described the sorority’s long history—founded at Howard University on Jan. 16, 1920—and said the awards are intended to help beginning teachers with professional growth and community impact. The presentation included brief remarks from district representatives and was accepted by school staff. No board action was required for the donations.
