Two Academy of Moore County students recently received Masonic Merit Awards. Since 2018, The Academy of Moore County and Roman Eagle Masonic Lodge #550 have established a Masonic Merit Scholarship to recognize fourth and fifth-graders who have demonstrated academic progress during a term.
There are eight winners per year, two per term, sharing the prizes.
On October 15, the awards were given to two of the latest worthy fourth-graders, Tristan Bullard and Amaro Martinez Frank.
Respecting the COVID-19 guidelines, the ceremony was conducted in the open garden, annexed to the Academy.
