Beth’s team won the Renaissance Award and 2nd places in their competition and Instant Challenge.
They now need your help to send them to the GLOBAL competition in Knoxville, Tennessee. Any help is appreciated. The cost is 900 per child. It is May 21st - May 25th. It is a huge honor as only a few schools from this area made it that far. We are doing fundraising to offset this cost. Please see the following message that was on the Peoria Public Schools website and newsletter.
