hGet organized
Oh, woe to be the disorganized student. Misplaced notes, worksheets and homework assignments flail about. But for every paper that's about to escape, russell+hazel has created a home. They've come up with the "ultimate binder alternative."
Just looking at this wanna-be binder will inspire you to organize. It's a super-durable, eight-pocket Expanding File (perfect for organizing papers for multiple subjects) that folds up into what looks to be a regular three-ring binder. Each spine is wrapped in durable book linen, which comes in nine colors sure to get your creative juices flowing. And the fun part, of course, is personalizing it. You can do that with doodles, or with straps, bands or belts (a giant rubber band is included).
A refreshing site
You may know that Coca-Cola is a large, successful multinational corporation.

To find out about its efforts, check out the Coca-Cola Youth Partnership Web site (www.youthdevelopment.coca-cola.com/home.html).
Coca-Cola sponsors several programs in the field of academic achievement. One such program is the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. This national scholarship program is open to all high school seniors in the United States who are actively involved in their schools and communities. The highly competitive program accepts only 250 students annually from more than 100,000 applicants. Of those accepted, 50 are named national scholars, each of whom receives a $20,000 scholarship. The other 200 are named regional scholars and receive $4,000 in scholarships.
Another achievement program Coca-Cola sponsors is the First Generation Scholarship program, targeting students who will be the first in their immediate family to attend college. It is offered in more than 380 colleges and universities across the United States and in more than 50 campuses in China as well.
