AWARDS4U - Special Offer for Griffin Middle School

Every year many of our students participate in city or county youth
sports leagues.  These might include football, baseball, soccer or
basketball.  As a result, many of those teams often order their team
awards from Awards4U.  As a partner of Leon County Schools, Awards4U is
offering to rebate 10% of any youth sports team orders placed by any of
our parents before June 1, 2008.  All they have to do is let Awards4U
know they want a donation made to Griffin Middle School when they place
the order.  Awards4U will tabulate the rebate and return a check to
Griffin by the end of June.

 

The Office of Technology Transfer, Licensing and Commercialization at
Florida A&M University will host its fourth Summer Invention Camp (now

5:00.  To be eligible for students must be between the ages 12-18,
maintain at least a B average, have an interest in science, mathematics,
and engineering, and posses a "wild" imagination.  See guidance for more
information.
