Upcoming SPA Courses Houston SPA class Image by Teri Einfeldt We were going to tell you about some upcoming Suzuki Principles in Action (SPA) courses, but they have all already filled up! There will be more SPA classes announced in the coming months, so look for details in future newsletters. More about SPA, including how to host a course in your area. ECC Grant: We’re at #4! We are still in the running to win a Pepsi Refresh grant of $50,000 to be used for 1,000 partial Every Child Can scholarships. As of Wednesday afternoon we’re in 4th place and in line to win the grant. If you live in the US, vote now to keep us there! Please remember you can vote twice each day: Once by texting, once by voting on the website. You can also vote again with the Pepsi Facebook app. Search for “Every Child Can”. Sometimes it isn’t working, but it’s worth checking too: We were as high as #4 today, but every night we drop some.We still need you all to vote and text every day for the next 8 days! Here’s my new idea: Please consider emailing (and probably editing) the following note to 10 folks you know that are not involved with our voting (relatives, neighbors your kids, your kids friends) who have unlimited texting.
