A program for middle and high school students:

Good Morning,
I hope that all is well with you. I wanted to write to let you know that the TeenSHARP Youth Leadership program is currently accepting applications for its next program year (Oct 2010-June 2011). TeenSHARP's mission is to develop teens that are SHARP (Successful in High Achieving and Reaching Potential) and ready to serve as thought leaders in a globalized world. The program meets two Saturdays a month and will be having two separate meeting times this year for ages 10-12 and 13-16. 

You can visit our website: http://teensharp.wordpress.com/ for more details about the program and for the 2010-2011 application. I have also attached the program brochure to this email for your review. Can you kindly this information with any interested parents or guardians in your network? Applications can be sent to us via email or mailed to the address listed in the application. 


Applications can also be dropped off tomorrow at 12:30pm at the Willingboro Public Library during the final screening for our summer documentary film series (see attached flyer). We will be screening the movie "Food, Inc." 

Have a great weekend!  
Regards,
Atnre Alleyne, Director
TeenSHARP Youth Leadership Program
