An amazing, once in a lifetime, possibly life changing opportunity! As Justice's parents we are especially proud of all her accomplishments, which include but not limited to being an honor roll student (maintaining a GPA of 3.5 or higher) while taking several advanced courses in Math and Science and electives in Technology. Many of you that know Justice may remember that she won first place in the 2014 Clackamas Community College Skills Competition for her Graphic Logo, which represented this years Skill Competion, winning a 12 credit scholarship to C.C.C.  Just reinforcing what we already know. Justice is a very talented, smart girl and we know she can do anything she sets her mind to!
We  really want this for her. We feel like this would be such a wonderful way to get Justice excited, motivated and inspired for her future while being a fun and memorable event in her life that stays with her.  Unfortunately we are finacially unable to provide this opportunity on our own. We need your help. We are trying to raise enough money for
1.) $1585 for the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders tuition and Overnight Program.
TUITION covers attendance at the Congress, the curriculum, materials, and the National Academy of Future Scienctists and Technologists Award of Excellence . Tuition does not include food, beverages, lodging , travel, local transportations or any other expense.
OVERNIGHT PROGRAM for an additional fee, you can elect on the Enrollement form to have the Academy arrange local transportation and accomodations for Students traveling without Parents. Services include:
*Greetings of Students upon arrival at Logan International Airport and Boston South Station (BOS) Amtrak;
*Transportation of Students to accommodations and to designated departure locations:
*Accommodations (double or triple occupancy) for the three designated nights, including daily breakfast; and
*Resident Assistants who will stay in accommodations with Students and be available overnight to address Student concerns.
2.) Additional money for transportation to Boston Massachuchetts, local travel, food and other expenses (I haven't had a chance to research travel expenses so this is an estimate)

Justice is just as excited about this opportunity as we are!!!! If you are able to contribute to this cause, even just a little, we would be so truly appreciative. It would be amazing if we could make this happen and such a huge show of support and belief in Justice which she deserves. Thank you for reading this and if you can't contribute that's okay:) we understand..send us best wishes instead!
