The Votes Are In! – 2007 Gathering of Champions Logo Selected

Congratulations to Courtney L. Kier, 9th grade student from Waubun High School, for winning the 2007 Minnesota Academic All-Star Logo Contest!

Her design has been selected for use as the logo for the upcoming Gathering of Champions on Friday August 3, 2007. Kier’s artwork received the most votes in an on-line advisory ballot conducted by the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE).

Plans are underway for the 2007 Gathering of Champions, an annual statewide event honoring students who are named as “Academic All-Stars” by officials in participating schools. The honored students may include top academic achievers, students who have made a dramatic improvement in their academic work or achievement, and the top finishers in academic challenges and competitions at a regional or higher level endorsed by the state’s Academic League Council. Kier’s artwork will be used as the visual centerpiece of informational materials and artwork for the 2007 Gathering of Champions.

Academic All-Star nomination information will be sent to all schools statewide the end of March.
