Teachers find it is helpful in recruiting students into their programs.
And they use the CSLD activity preparations, such as declamations, academic contests, and project preparations in their regular class work. Schools will receive ribbons for winning in all categories.

Registration with all monies necessary will be due no later than March 1, 2002.
