Help Hammond win $60,000 in materials
Fri, 01/18/2019 - 10:28am
Last month Hammond answered the call from Follett Corporation who was in search of a school that could highlight "creative programming" for their annual Follett Challenge. We entered for Hammond’s Media/ALS (Academic Life Skills) partner program, "Book Buddies." You'll be able to learn more about this program when you view our video linked below. While 80% of our score will be from judges who will be viewing our video and reviewing our written entry, the other 20% of our score will be based on the number of "votes" we receive. The school/entry with the highest overall score will be declared the winner! If we win, Hammond High School could win $60,000 in product from Follett! Included in this grand prize is also a visit from Newbery winning author, Kwame Alexander!! This is where we need your help. Please vote EACH day, beginning today @ 9am and going through until Friday @ 5pm for our Follett Challenge Entry, "Hammond High School Book Buddies." You may vote only ONE time per day through Friday of this week. So, be sure and vote EACH day! When you vote, Follett will email a PIN number. Be sure to enter it so the vote will be counted OR you can vote through Facebook if that is easier (no pin needed). Please share this WIDELY with your family and friends, and ask them to share it as well and to vote EACH day from today through Friday of this week. Here is the link http://follettchallenge.com/videos/1159 Thank you so much for showing support for Hammond High School, our students, and our program!
