SIFE Grant Notification

Here's an email that Jessica Welch forwarded to me from SIFE HQ, informing us that we have been selected for the "I Choose!" grant for the 2007-2008 school year! Jessica wrote the initial proposal for the grant, which will be used to expand the Foster Care Consumer Carpentry and The Game of Life & Debt programs next year, by providing internships for local high school-aged foster children at Flagler's Legacy, as well as taking them on day trips and introducing them to business leaders around the community. We are very lucky to have this opportunity!! The email reads as follows-

Dear SIFE team,

Congratulations, your team has been selected to receive one of fifty 2007-2008 “I CHOOSE!” grants.
