.On A Honor Roll
Eric Moore Wins
h Spelling Bee Contest
’ : By Teresa Simmons
Post Managing Editor
Making all "Ms" simply hasn’t
been enough for 11 -year-old Eric
Moore. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Eric
Moore also won the Spelling -Bee
contest for fifth graders at Thomas
boro Elementary School, plays
football, baseball and basketball and
has had six years of perfect at
tendance. He also sold $870 worth of
candy for the PTA Fund this year.
Next semester Moore will be a
sixth grader at Northwest Middle
v School. Since he loves to read and
has made it a habit to study each day
alter school, he will most likely
continue to make excellent grades.
Dorothea B. Ashford, grandparent
to Moore is extremely proud of her
grandson. He, along with his sister,
Jacquoia, and brother, Jeremy,
represent the sixth generation of his
family at Mt. Carmel Baptist
Church. Rev. Leon Riddick is their
pastor. At church Moore is a fre
quent student at the Sunday School.
Moore is a member of the West
Chester Optimist Club teams of
football, baseball and basketball.
My father has inspired me a great
deal,’’ Moore stated. “He has taught
me a lot about all three games.”
One professional player Moore
admires is Sam Perkins. “I like his
techniques, especially the way he
shoots the ball.”
Playing professional basketball is
part of Moore’s ambition. “Dif
ferent sports are my hobbies,”
Moore continued.
In addition to studying every day
during school term, Moore also
practices his sports at least three
times weekly. By selling $670 worth
of candy you could guess that Moore
is a born salesman. (His fifth grade
class, taught by Joyce Gilbert, won
first prize in the candy competi
tion.) He is also wise when it comes
to handling money. “The money I
have is in savings. I plan to in
vest it when I get older.” Moore has
sold cans and bottles to accrue his
savings.
Moore is one special young man.
So look out, sports world, look out,
Wall Street, and look out, academic
scholars. Eleven year old Eric
Moore is making a statement at an
early age and the future holds an
even larger one for him.
