Duval County Public Schools, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and The SELF Movement Partner with Allstate Foundation to Launch Teen Safe Driving Video Contest

Submissions for the Teen Safe Driving Video Contest are now being accepted. Duval County high school students can create a 30-60 second video highlighting the dangers of distracted or impaired driving. The contest offers students more than $3,000 in scholarships, with their school receiving a $1,000 grant. 

Local Organizations Team Up to Put Corporate Grant to Work in the Public Education System

 

JACKSONVILLE, FL (February 8, 2012) — Duval County Public Schools, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, and local non-profit organization, The SELF Movement, announced a partnership today to launch a Teen Safe Driving Video Contest in Duval County. 

The contest offers individuals or teams of up to four students more than $3,000 in scholarships and prizes. The first-place winner will designate a Duval County public high school in advance to receive a $1,000 grant for a student-focused improvement project of the school’s choice.

The video contest provides an opportunity for teens to educate their peers on the dangers of distracted or impaired driving. Students are asked to create a 30-60 second video, which must be submitted to The SELF Movement’s YouTube channel by midnight on March 17, 2012.  The public will select seven finalists from April 7 – 22, 2012 and a local panel of judges will select three additional finalists.  The finalists and honorable mention candidates will be announced by May 5, 2012 in advance of a formal red carpet award ceremony later that month.
The Teen Safe Driving Video Contest will also raise funds to benefit the Duval County Public Schools’ driver education program.  The financial support for both the video contest and updated driver education resource material will be provided in part by a $10,000 donation from the Allstate Foundation.
To learn more about the Teen Safe Driving Video Contest, including the official rules and registration, visit www.theselfmovement.org.

Blood Donor Scholarship for Seniors

The Blood Alliance High School Blood Donor Scholarships For Senior Class Students What: The Blood Alliance (TBA) is very excited to announce its High School Blood Donor Scholarship for this school year. All public and private high schools in TBA service area that host blood drives during the school year will be included in the challenge. TBA recognizes the need to support high school students who not only excel in the classroom and seek post high school education, but also excel in community service. TBA will award 15 scholarships to High School Seniors in the upcoming school year based on the school’s performance with each blood drive, blood drive frequency, student participation, student GPA, and essay review. The scholarship winners will be awarded $1,000 each for post high school education tuition. Who: Parents, faculty, and staff as well as high school student donors. Any 16 year-old donating for the first time must have his or her parent(s) or legal guardian(s) sign a consent form which gives permission to donate at any additional drives for the duration while they are 16 (17 and 18 year-old donors do not require parental permission). Female donors ages 16 to 18 may donate every 112 days to ensure their iron levels are not negatively impacted by donating the usual interval of every 56 days. Why: High school students are a new generation of blood donors. Their donations encourage them to save lives, inculcate a sense of community service, and help ensure an adequate local blood supply for the hospitals that TBA serves. Criteria: Public and private high schools that currently host blood drives with The Blood Alliance need to host a minimum of three blood drives during the school year at your high school to be considered for the scholarship.  Students at these schools will need to donate or register to donate for at least two of those blood drives to be eligible for the scholarship.   Public or private high schools that have never hosted a blood drive with The Blood Alliance, can host their first high school blood drive to be considered for the Scholarship.  Students at these schools will need to donate or register to donate for at least one blood drive to be eligible for the scholarship.&nbs p; How: Applications and scholarship specifications are available at www.igiveblood.com! FACT:  The Blood Alliance must collect 360 pints every day to meet the needs of area hospitals.
