Jane Held scholarship recipient

Nicholas Smith, a seventh grader at St. Stephen-St. Edward School in Warwick, is the first recipient of the Jane Held Scholarship Award. This scholarship will be given each year to a St. Stephen-St. Edward student who most exemplifies the dedication, leadership and compassion demonstrated by Jane Held, who died in August 2005. Held, who graduated from St. Stephen’s in 1970, was an active member of the parish and supporter of the school. Her husband, Richard, graduated in 1969; all of their children also are graduates, except Erin who is in grade 7.
