SMS Announces Honor, Merit Roll Students

Tappahannock (June 17, 2002) - Nearly one-third of the students at St. Margaret's School learned an important lesson this spring.

Local students include seniors Heather Porter of Walkerton and Rachelle Slotnick of Tappahannock, sophomore Jessica Stokes of Tappahannock, and freshmen Annie Arnest of Kinsale, Neillee Katona of Dunnsville and Palmer Ware of Dunnsville.
