Wanda Lockridge told the Education Town Hall how the William O. Lockridge Community Foundation supports students in DC’s Wards 7 and 8.
Honoring the memory of teacher, coach, and board of education member William Lockridge, the foundation provides scholarships to college-bound students and funds an “International Ambassadors” program bringing middle school students to Africa. Their annual fund-raiser, “Dancing with the Scholars” pairs high school students with State Board of Education members.
