A.K.A. Thursday Folder for 9/27/2018
Hello Jackson Community!
Notes & Reminders
This is the FINAL WEEK! Help Jackson win $25,000 or $1,000 by voting in this Imaging the Amazing contest during September 17-30.
Imagine the Amazing with UnityPoint Health. Education is an essential part of living well and being well, and schools are at the heart of our communities. That's why we're launching a back-to-school contest to bring big dreams to life.
The winning school will win $25,000 to enhance the well-being of students, teachers and/or learning environments. Ten runner-up schools will win $1,000 to invest in a health and wellness need at their school. Every school has a need and every kid has a dream. UnityPoint Health is committed to investing in both to create a brighter tomorrow.
