Dear Educator:

As a member of the Video Placement Worldwide Classroom Information NetworkSM, we at VPW are pleased to alert you to the following opportunity.

Take advantage of CAPCO's fifth annual Science Class Challenge, an opportunity to win $250 to $5,000 for your school and a pizza party for your class!

The CAPCO Science Class Challenge is a classroom contest for grades 4-9. The purpose of the competition is to encourage students and teachers to learn about the Earth's protective upper ozone layer, CFCs, and the environment by using provided activities or their own creative methods. (To view last year's winners, visit http://nocfcs.org/scc/gallery/home.htm.) "Most Creative" awards are judged and awarded in two separate categories: Grades 4-6 and Grades 7-9. That means more opportunities to win.

For FREE resources to help teach your students about the Earth's upper ozone layer or to find out how to take part in the CAPCO Science Class Challenge visit http://nocfcs.org/scc/home.htm. To enter the contest, you must be a full-time teacher employed by a U.S. public or private school or be a home school educator/parent teaching within grades 4-9. Home schools must have at least 10 students to qualify for "Most Creative" prizes. Deadline for entry is May 14, 2007.

With Earth Day on April 22, the spring is an ideal time to recognize 25 years of CFC-free aerosol products and to teach your students about the Earth's protective upper ozone layer and how aerosol products have been made safe for the environment.

Best regards,
