More, more, more Education Challenge Points

Last Push for Education Challenge Points

All documentation must be postmarked by June 28^th to qualify for this year’s Education Challenge. That means you have time to whip out some quick points and surprise everyone. It’s not too late to take the BIG PRIZES. We’ve added 3 methods to bump up your points, plus you can help us make a VERY Important decision. See #3 below.

 

Point Bump One:

There are a couple of samples that will improve this upcoming Loaner Program Season, and we are willing to give points to acquire them. About 25% of those that returned the SESP Digitizing Software said that they never attempted the Self-Directed Lesson Plans that we supplied. To encourage next year’s participants to “not do the same”, we thought that it would be helpful if we had more than just a picture of the projects. SO, for those of you that have Floriani’s SESP Software, we will award 132 points per Self-Directed Project sample that we receive before the Education Challenge Deadline. If you have the SESP Software but weren’t on the Loaner Program, you can still send in project samples. Send me an email to let me know that you need the Self Directed Project Instructions and I’ll send them back to you by email or DropBox link (they might be too big for emails). Remember, deadlines still apply and neatness counts, but you are welcome to make the towel design on a washcloth so that it will be smaller. –Must be completed using the SESP Software because that’s the software on next year’s program and it needs to match up to be of value to the incoming group.

Point Bump 2

Here’s another way to up your points:

Be our guest blogger. Write an article about your classroom sewing and/or embroidery experience this past year. Email it to schools@bsewinn.com Please put Edu Challenge Blog Entry in the subject line. We’ll award you 64 points and publish as many as we can. Please note, we reserve the right to award the points but not publish your article also. Limit one blog entry per Education Challenge participant.

Point Bump 3

And a third way to add to your total Education Challenge Point for this year’s contest:

Vote on the following question: (19 points—you can only vote once).

Question to Vote On:

Instead of a Student Scholarship for College, would it be more helpful if we offered a $500 FCCLA National Convention Expense Award to help pay for one school in OK, one in MO and one in AR to attend the annual FCCLA National Convention?  Vote Yes or Vote No.

Where to Vote:

If you are in our Education Division Email Database, you will have received this information by email and you can vote directly from the email. The Vote Buttons will be located on your email tool bar (if you use Outlook). Click the down triangle for the choices to select from. When I reviewed the email with my iphone the Vote Buttons was not visible. Most likely, they are also not visible on ipads either. If you can’t see or find the VOTE BUTTONS in the email OR you can't get to your school emails right now, then list your preference in the Subject Line of a Reply Email. That will get it counted with the ones that are automatically tabulated from the VOTE BUTTONS.

Thanks,

Josie
