Books Last Call -
To Benefit The Oasis Program, USF St. Petersburg
 The Oasis Program has a few Entertainment books left, the
cost $20.00. The books contain many discounts and buy one
get one free coupons. These make great Holiday gifts. The
proceeds from the books go to finance a marine science field
trip to the coral reefs at Pigeon Key, Florida.
The Oasis Program is designed to serve children who are
at a high risk for dropping out. Most have average or above
ability but have records of significant underachievement.
Oasis is their last chance attempt at the 8th grade level
to alter their academic decline, to rebuild their self-esteem,
and restore within themselves a love for learning. We do
this through a heavy emphasis on the environment and the
use of our states beautiful rivers, lakes, bays and the Gulf
of Mexico.
By supporting our interactive programs you create the accelerated
learning environment that provides the opportunity for youth
to quantum leap in life.
Please call Margie Miller @ 553-3138 before 12/12/03 if you
would like one.
