One of Our Students Needs Your Help

From Bradley Ward at Zora Ellis:

I wanted to let you know that recently some students here at Zora Ellis entered a poster contest through the SHADE Foundation. One of our students, Kacie G., won 1st place in the State of Alabama, and is now currently competing in the national competition! I am getting pictures together that we have taken of her recieving her prizes and I will be posting them on the blog soon.

The reason I am telling you this is because she needs our systems help to win the competition. The posters are voted for online until the end of May 2008. Her poster is number 25 out of the 43 in the contest. We need as many votes as possible for her to win a trip for 4 to Disney World and the school will win a $7000 weatherbug tracking system. We are really pulling for her, but we need everyone's help.

To vote all you have to do is go to shadefoundation.org, click on vote now for posters, scroll through the posters to the bottom of the page( Kacie #25), click vote, select the correct option for voting (the one for the entire classroom voting is the top right option. all students can vote from the same computer but it takes a while), and submit. The students who vote will be entered for a drawing for one of two IPOD Nanos to be given away this summer.

I have been putting my email address in for all my students because I have dealt with all of these people several times and they know how to contact me. Please let other schools know, and hopefully our girl will win the competition.

Also, if you know anyone interested in the SunWise Program or the SHADE Foundation please tell them to email me and I will be glad to give them more information. I use them in my classroom and the students seem to really enjoy them.
