STEP Celebrates Robert Lee Jr.s' Graduation

STEP student Robert Lee Jr. was center stage at an elegant graduation party hosted by the STEP Committee at the home of Lisa Rodman on Thursday June 25th. Lee, a Memphis native, attended Scarsdale High School for the past two years, after he was selected by the board of the Student Transfer Education Plan. He lived with the Berke family and by all accounts flourished in the 'dale. He even had the privilege of speaking at the SHS graduation. Lee plans to attend Vanderbilt in the fall, but before he could leave Scarsdale, his family travelled north for the party and the graduation and had the chance to meet many who guided Lee through two years at Scarsdale High School.

Here are some photos from the event:
