Supporters of a national education initiative are making SAT/ACT test preparation software available to all ASD students free of charge.
The initiative provides free PowerPrep software to students in Military Impacted School Districts nationwide. As a military impacted district, all students and educators within ASD may receive the free software, valued at approximately $200. Although this is the fourth year of the program, this is the first time it has been available to ASD. The donation is available through July 2009.
All ASD students, regardless of military affiliation, may request a DVD or CD program through the following Web site: http://eknowledge.com/schools.asp?coupon=9C8CEE9334.
The software will be mailed directly to each individual who places an order. The software donation does not cover shipping and handling charges, estimated at $28.
The initiative is available to hundreds of school districts nationwide and is sponsored by eKnowledge Corporation, a group of National Football League players and the U.S. Department of Defense.
Do you know youth, ages 13-18, interested in leadership, violence prevention and/or the arts?
If so, please let them know about the Lead On Youth Leadership Conference to be held at Alyeska September 24-26th. This mini-summit, co-sponsored by the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (ANDVSA) and Allstate will bring together Alaskan youth leaders, community partners and nationally known speakers to improve leadership skills and support healthy communities.
This event will feature youth-led workshops and presentations about how youth and community partners are using theatre, art and media in the state to promote peace and equality. This gathering is also part of the CDC-funded national demonstration project DELTA (Domestic Violence Education Leadership Through Alliances).
See attached flyer and scholarship application.
