Dover-Foxcroft, Maine - On the afternoon of May 8, Foxcroft Academy honored the Class of 2012’s outstanding scholars at its annual Rose Award ceremony. This year’s recipients were Maitland Bell, Ethan Bryand, Xuan Chen, Rachel Cody, Shuchang Du, Matthew Hewett, Yuemeng Jia, Madeline Kelly, Jae Young Lee, Jiarong Li, Jiayang Lu, Kedi Ni, Yangshengjing Qiu, Christopher Shorey, Yuanjiang Song, and Brent Thomas.
The Rose Awards were established in 1931 when Mr. Frank G. Stone was head of Foxcroft Academy. Rose Award recipients have accumulated a grade point average that places them in the top 15 percent of their class. For the 27th consecutive year, a medallion with the Foxcroft Academy seal will be presented to the recipients in addition to the traditional rose. These medallions will be presented on May 19 (5:00 in the FA gymnasium) in conjunction with the induction ceremony for the inaugural class of the Foxcroft Academy Academic Hall of Fame. Mrs. Priscilla White, former FA English teacher and librarian who retired after 36 years of service, and Mr. Robert Beek, who taught mathematics for 33 years, conceived the idea for this permanent award and contributed funds to have the die cast for the medallion, which has now become a permanent part of the annual ceremony.
