The Rosztoczy Foundation has given full ride scholarships to an entire class of……….. third graders. The students from Bernard Black Elementary in Phoenix won’t have to pay a thing. All 63 third graders will receive free room and board, tuition, and books. The kids in the class were gathered with their parents in the gymnasium. None of them had any idea. When it was announced, there were plenty of tears.
I can’t remember third grade. The average is is 8. I’m not sure I would have even known what college was, much less comprehending how big a gift this is.
