I just wanted to let you know that our school has been chosen as a "Top Ten Finalist" in the America's Greenest School Contest. For this contest, we wrote an essay describing why Redmond is the greenest school in America, and our essay was chosen as one of the final 10/2000.

The grand prize for this contest is a hybrid school bus worth $200,000 for our school district AND a $5000 scholarship. The winner will be chosen by online voting next week (May 11-17). Register to vote NOW! Online voting will begin this Monday, May 11 and continue through Sunday, May 17.
