Vote for DJUSD to win a $15,000 grant

Dear Harper Community Supporters,

Harper Jr. High School has qualified as a finalist for a $15,000 grant awarded by PG&E and The NEED project.  This multi-step process has narrowed applicants down to three California schools, with the winner to be determined by public vote and announced on May 2nd.  

Voting will take place from April 25 to May 2nd, closing at 6pm. EVERYONE MAY VOTE ONCE A DAY PER ELECTRONIC DEVICE.
Go to this site to vote:   http://pge.need.org/biggerbrightideas#Harper

The Davis community is called to support this opportunity and bring funds into the school district in support of an outdoor STEM Lab. This lab includes completion of the aquaponics system, construction of a greenhouse/lath house, as well as human powered water pumps for irrigation on the school farm. We have collected 5,800 gallons of rain water to date.

Please feel free to post this through your contacts to help bring these funds into our school district.  The more outreach, the better chance we have of winning.

Thanks for your support to grow our school garden into a community resource for all ages to learn.
