Lucy Bell was a part of Magnolia School's athletic program since her young years as a Trojan basketball standout. From that time until her recent death she has mentored hundreds and hundreds of students at Magnolia School. She not only mentored them, she fed, clothed, disciplined, advised, chaperoned, nurtured, taught and above all she loved each and every student that she came in contact over the many, many years of involvement at Magnolia School She has cleaned the school, held many successful fundraising efforts for the athletic program and PTA, improved our grounds, and was Magnolia's biggest fan for the children; especially student athletes. She deserves this honor and more. Please sign the petition which will be presented to the Public Schools of Robeson County School Board.

She deserves this. She was and will always be an integral part of the magnolia family. She was always there to push her own children as well as all the others to be there best.

She would be very deserving of this honor considering her accomplishments while at Magnolia High School and later as a mother supporting her children there and finally as a community supporter and activist.
