PRIZE DONATIONS SOUGHT FOR STUDENT INVENTORS

Students at Margaret Beeks Elementary School are creating original inventions as part of the National Invent America! program. The students must create and illustrate their invention.

Margaret Beeks has found the program beneficial in developing pupils' critical and creative skills.

School officials now are seeking donations from local organizations so that prizes may be awarded to the pupils creating the best inventions in each grade level, kindergarten through grade five.

Some suggestions include trophies, certificates, plaques, T-shirts or a winners' lunch/party.

For more information, call (703) 552-4541.
