Finklea, Hendrick & Blake is pleased to announce the winners of the 2022 Classroom Stipend Award. The stipend awarded in the amount of two-hundred and fifty dollars was provided to first year teachers to help offset the purchase of classroom supplies and decorations. We initiated this award in appreciation for the support the community has shown our business, to acknowledge our teachers for their service and sacrifice, and to ultimately impact students’ education in the classroom.

We are proud to award Kellie Alban at The Carolina Academy, Sadie Burton at Dillon School District 4, Macy McArthur at Florence Christian School, Whitney Logan Kirkley Smith at Darlington County School District, Hagan Rollins at West Florence, Christian Frean Dimmery at Carver Elementary School, Monica D. Gibson at J.L. Cain Elementary, and Erica Miles-Hannah at Pamplico Elementary. Best wishes to all teachers and educators as they begin this new school year. Thank you for your sacrifice and service.
