BELL ATLANTIC'S ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM has awarded $3,350 to the William Ruffner Magnet Center.

Ruffner received the grant to help pay for its automated telephone home notification system for reporting student absences, and to support its Literacy Passport remediation efforts, including materials for Ruffner's Saturday School program.

ROANOKE COLLEGE has raised $350,000 for its new foreign language instruction facility. Renovations are under way in Lucas Hall, and the lab will be available for student use at the opening of fall semester.
