Tech High Poised to Win $50K Grant

This letter is from Joelle Burnette, the Rohnert Park "Towns" correspondent for the Press Democrat.

Technology High School is the only Sonoma County school nominated to win up to a $50,000 grant through the Clorox “Power a Bright Future” grant program, but they need daily votes from the community through Dec. 9.  

After a competitive national nomination period, Tech High is asking the greater Sonoma County community to show its support by voting for this Rohnert Park school that wants to start a music program and jazz ensemble.  

Adults and children 13 and older can visit PowerABrightFuture.com and search “jazz” to find Tech High's nomination or just click here. People can also vote from your phone by texting clorox6939 to 44144 (message and data rates may apply).  

The program that receives the highest number of votes will be awarded the $50,000 grand-prize grant, and the nominations that receive the top votes in the Play, Create and Explore categories will each be awarded a $25,000 grant.

Additionally, Clorox’s judging panel, will select one more school to win a $25,000 “judge’s choice” grant.  

Tech High can be one of only five schools nationwide to win a grant, and you can help push the school to the top. The school is hopeful people will share this story with friends and family and vote every day so the school can start a music program.  We hope you’ll be able to share our school’s story with your readers and encourage them to vote for Technology High School’s music program and jazz ensemble at www.PowerABrightFuture.com.  

Best, Joelle Burnette, on behalf of Technology High School. Read the "Towns" story here.
