Monica Pence Barlow Educational Grant for Literacy

Picture
This Endowed Educational Grant is awarded in memory of Monica Pence Barlow. Monica attended Rockingham County Public Schools, as did her husband Ben and parents Wayne and Ramona.  She believed strongly in the value of education and loved to read throughout her life.  She loved libraries and seeing children in particular open their worlds through the magic of books.  Monica took her love of reading with her as she attended college at William and Mary and then as she became one of the few women to direct a public relations department for a Major League Baseball team (the Baltimore Orioles).  The grant’s focus is to enhance educational opportunities for students with an emphasis on literacy and communication – two areas of immense interest for Monica, and critical for the success of children.


Montevideo High School Class of 1969 Educational grant

Picture
During the planning of their 45th class reunion, the Montevideo Class of 1969 embarked on a mission to create an endowment fund for which teachers can apply to create educational opportunities that would otherwise not be available for their students.  The goal is to raise $50,000 for their 50th class reunion in 2019.
