Parents and Students,

Our central services has asked for some help in winning a grant for our
county 's 8th grade science departments.  It entails going to a site and
voting for Craven County's idea.

If you have the time when surfing a couple of minutes, take a look at the information below that I received from the Science Coordinator for Craven County Schools.

-----Inline Attachment Follows-----

I am requesting your help on behalf of the Grade 8 Science Teachers,
Students and High School Earth Science and Ecology Teachers:
Craven County is competing for a state/nation grant for $15000.  To win
(in N.C.) your proposal must have the most votes.
To vote follow the following procedures and make a positive comment.  A
comment COUNTS AS A VOTE.

Included is the link to the hamburger helper grant.  For
NC, we are CURRENTLY in 3rd place .
If you would pass on the link and have parents and teachers vote that
would start the $$$.

Select NC then select New Bern. Scroll down to New Bern (Craven County),
Neuse Riverkeepers-Floating Classroom project.  I think we have to have the
most comments to win.

Thanks for helping us help kids and teachers!  Judy Dean
