Please pass this along as you see fit; the application is open until April 1.  It's not a TREA sponsored scholarship, but we want our students to have as many opportunities/options as possible.  

Congratulations to these Districts/high schools having a basketball team that made it all the way to the State Championship Game!

As a former superintendent and first responder, I would encourage all schools to train as many of your staff and students as possible, in first aid, CPR, and the use of AED.  It will save lives.
