Blue Valley Northwest has a chance to hear President Barack Obama speak at the school’s 2010 commencement ceremony, and you can help make it happen.
Voting begins at 7 a.m. CDT, Monday, April 26, for the winner of the first annual Race to the Top High School Commencement Challenge. Voting ends at 11 p.m. on Thursday, April 29.
Simply go to the White House’s website and rate a three-minute video and short essay from each of the six high school finalists. President Obama will select the national winner from the three high schools with the highest average ratings.
(Watch the BVNW video, and you’ll see KSPA President Jim McCrossen!)
The Commencement Challenge winner will be announced on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 and the President will visit the winning high school to deliver the commencement address later this spring.

- Environmental Charter High School (Lawndale, California)
