GRPS - Last day of voting for Kohl's Cares initiative

Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, September 3rd, 2:46 pm

Dear GRPS Students, Parents, Staff and Supporters:
 
Following our email yesterday, it was brought to our attention that Ken-O-Sha Elementary was not the only school involved in the Kohl's Cares initiative on Facebook. In fact, nearly every school in the district has applied! That means that ANY school in the Grand Rapids Public School district could win one of 20 $500,000 grants to improve their school.
 
Today is the last day of voting. All you have to do is log on to (or join, if you haven't already) Facebook and find the Kohl's page at http://www.facebook.com/#!/kohls?ref=ts. Click on the Kohl's Cares tab and search for your favorite GRPS school. Every vote counts, so vote multiple times for any and all of the GRPS schools involved!
 
Get the word out, post to your Facebook page and email all your friends! Show everyone how much you support GRPS and our ongoing success story.
