If there's one lesson taught in almost every public school in the country, it's this: Money is tight. That's why Remington College is launching a new program called Adopt Our School to help schools out with up to $2,000 worth of supplies.  |  |  For a complete set of rules for the Adopt Our School promotion, visit www.adoptourschool.com or call 1-800-448-6405. |  |  |
The Adopt Our School program is open to any public elementary, middle or high school in every city where Remington College has a physical campus. Little Rock area schools are eligible to participate because of the Remington College-Little Rock Campus. The concept is simple: You nominate. Your community votes. A school benefits. Here's how the program works: Anyone can nominate a school online at www.adoptourschool.com; the nomination period runs from Feb. 1-28 with public voting for the nominated schools running from March 3-31 (people can vote once per day); and the school that gets the most votes will win up to $2,000 worth of supplies. "As educators, we know how important it is to have the resources that students need," said Jack Forrest, Remington College President and CEO. "We want to help schools in our local communities by helping fill the gap created by budget pressures. In the final analysis, nothing is more important to the health and future of the community than an educated citizenry." The Adopt Our School program is part of "Remington College Reaches Out," a series of community initiatives and charitable efforts to mark the college's 25th anniversary in 2010. Based in Heathrow, Fl., Remington College offers diploma and degree programs at 20 campuses throughout the United States, including a new online campus. Its mission is to provide career-focused education through a variety of programs, including nursing, cosmetology, business office management and criminal justice.
