Is being awarded a Jefferson Award in your school an important achievement? --For optimal effect and best score, your presentation should be as SIA specific as possible. --Facts and figures are important; be accurate! --Have fun, relax and enjoy telling your story! We want to celebrate your successes! GOOD LUCK! |
