Help Needed for Berkmar H.S. Academic Team


It is always great to win at State and then get an invitation to compete at the national level.  At the national level, a school not only brings recognition to itself, but also to its community.  

In this case, the Berkmar Academic Decathelon team, whose history at winning national recognition has been phenomenal (7 times State Champion and 12 times Division I Champion), has been invited to participate at the National Academic Decathelon Competition which will be held in late April. Already the team has raised a significant amount of money, but with just winning the berth in February and the National Competition to be held in late April in Hawaii, it doesn't allow much time to raise funds to cover expensive air fare for required chaperones and team members.  The team is reaching out to the community to help them raise the remaining approximately $5,000 needed to make the trip. The PAGE Foundation website has a page dedicated to helping the Berkmar team raise this last bit of funding. Please help with any amount.  Go to:http://www.pagefoundation.org/berkmar and be sure to indicate the funds to be directed to Berkmar HS.  Thank you in advance as they will bring home honor not only to Berkmar, but also to our Lilburn community.
