GIVE
STUDENTS A MEANINGFUL PURPOSE AND THE MEANS TO
LET THEIR LEARNING SHINE!
There
isn’t
anything better than watching students cheer for each other’s academic
achievement. Whether they medal or not,
participants know that they have been part of a very special event.
Local
non-profit
organizations and/or businesses may be willing to help schools with
team
needs. Perhaps funds for buses, entry
fees, or volunteer time to help with coaching can be donated to get a
team to
the event.
We
hope to see
you and your team this year.
Check

Lists, more information and Registration
brochures.
