"I would like to extend our sincere thanks to National Pawn for sponsoring scholarships for Garner Magnet students. Bob's mother really did, 'teach him right.' She taught him to have a benevolent spirit and share for the good of others," said Sue B. King, Chair of the Scholarship Committee of the Garner Educational Foundation. "As for the winners, Rachel takes each task assigned to her as an opportunity to gain understanding. Her commitment to athletics, student government, and fine arts make her a well-rounded student.
