As a continuation of last year's NBA Stay In School success, McGregor is the Hornets’ spokesperson for the "Bee Cool Stay In School Program.” He visit- ed Grover at the invitation of Principal Jim Scruggs and fourth grade teacher Joyce Harrington.

McGregor, who stands 6 fect cight inches tall, told the young- sters in K-5 that he once was in their shoes and credited his success with staying in school. He had just returned from watching the Lakers play in Los Angeles, and Michael Jordan in Chicago. Constantly on the move, he said he loves it. McGregor said he saw a 10- year-old boy into hard drugs and kids "messed up on drugs" and dropping out of school because they followed the wrong crowd and thought they were the "in" crowd. "Don't drop out of school, act like nice young people, listen to your teachers, don't swear, and work hard and you can do anything you set your mind and heart on," he said. McGregor reminded that N.C. competency tests taken by sixth grade students now determine if they graduate high school.
