NAACP ACT-SO WINS SEVERAL NATIONAL AWARDS (ACT-SO Academic, Cultural, Technological Scientific Olympics)

Google this program NAACP ACT-SO - its wonderful to see how much they've accomplished - both my children competed - it was great networking for the students as well to see kids across Houston and the suburbs  with such talent in the ACT-SO fields! One of our efamily members that was an ACT-SO participant is now an author and business owner who gave back by donating laptops to winners during my kids time (and the ACT-SO alum donor was only age 26!) See below their most recent accomplishments - go and cheer on the kids and the NAACP. Are you a member? There is a youth council that gets kids on the right track as well! Caring about our youth and our nation - NAACP has stood the test of time! Many of you remember this program is the legacy of the late Attorney Andrea Arceneaux. Get your kids involved! Google NAACP ACTSO Houston for their website (several links)
