HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS NEXT…

 

Teachers whose students have been selected will receive an email no later than April 9th,that will include an invitation for each selected student to the awards event in their area.  It will also contain a consent form to be completed by parents allowing Celebrate NJ! to use their child’s name and photo in publicity and on our website.  For Class Projects, all students are invited to attend the event, however consent forms are not required as we will not be identifying individual students in the class project category.  Teachers and their guests are also invited to the awards event.

 

If your class and/or student(s) is(are) on this list and do not receive the email by the deadline above, please contact us asap at 732.333.0462.
