Remington College-Tampa Campus Launches “Adopt Our School” Program to Benefit Local Schools
Public schools eligible for $2,000 worth of supplies; nominations begin February 1
Tampa, Fla. – (February 2, 2010) – 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.
Based in Heathrow, Florida, 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.
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. Tampa area schools are eligible to participate because of the Remington College-Tampa 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 February 1 through February 28.
From March 3 through March 31, the public can vote for the school of their choice. People can vote once per day. The school that gets the most votes will be the winner.
The winning school will receive 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.
