After Sabrina Jackson passed away on June 15, 2021, Japanese teacher Daniel Carolin started a memorial fund to keep her memory alive as a scholarship.

The memorial scholarship will go to one or two graduating seniors who display the qualities of Sabrina, including interest in music, asian studies and political activism. 

Sabrina was a student of Carolin’s for 4 years, traveled in the Japanese student exchange program, hosted exchange students and studied Japanese in college.

“What happened was very dark and unfortunate,” Carolin said. “Sabrina was always such a nice kid, always nice to everybody that she talked to.”

Interested donors can donate through the Cedar Rapids Community School District Foundation, specifying the donation in memory of Sabrina Jackson.
