Jane Neal Cox Memorial Award presented at George Wythe
Congratulations to Timothy Gills, the 2019 recipient of the Jane Neal Cox Memorial Award given to the outstanding senior art student at George Wythe High School. Timothy was chosen by his art instructors and was presented with the award at GWHS's Awards Assembly on May 24, 2019, by Rosemary McKnight, who along with Linda Hultgren, represented the JRAL Community Outreach Committee.
The award this year was a gift card for $300, funded by the League treasury, an anonymous member donation, and Robert Caldwell, who donated his honorarium from his presentation earlier this year. While many awards are presented at the school's ceremony, JRAL's award is the only one in support of the art program.

About The Jane Neal Cox Memorial Award
 Jane Neal Cox
The JRAL board voted in March 2018 to name JRAL's annual award presented to the outstanding senior art student at George Wythe High School in memory of our beloved member, Jane Cox. Jane was chair of our Community Outreach Committee when she passed away in January 2018, and served JRAL in many capacities including President during her membership. Jane's passion for encouraging young people to explore art and her background as a teacher at George Wythe High School created the opportunity for JRAL to support the GWHS art program in multiple ways. Funded by the JRAL Treasury and member donations, the Jane Neal Cox Memorial Award is presented to the outstanding senior art student at George Wythe High School during senior awards at the end of the school year.
