Hazelwood Middle School Student Receives College Scholarship from The St. Louis Cardinals

Anthony Smith, eighth-grader at Hazelwood North Middle School, received the Redbird Rookies Saigh Scholarship from the St. Louis Cardinals.

Redbird Rookies is a children’s baseball league sponsored by Cardinals Care, the charitable organization of the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Redbird Rookies Saigh Scholarship is given to students who demonstrated exceptional leadership, integrity, and teamwork as members of a Redbird Rookies team.

“Since joining the team I’ve learned several important life skills,” said Smith. “I’ve learned the value of communicating and teamwork. Being a team player really helps you to communicate efficiently; without communication there will be chaos on the field.”

The $8,000 scholarship will be awarded in equal amounts, and applied to Smith’s pursuit of higher education at an accredited university.
