Johnson School students will once again have the opportunity to participate in the national Doodle 4 Google contest. The theme this year is "If I could invent one thing to make the world a better place..." The grand prize winner will receive a $30,000 scholarship to the college of their choice. For some inspiration from professional Google "Doodlers" click here. Time to get doodling!! For more information about this contest opportunity, click here.  There are two contests going on right now that Johnson School students are being introduced to and encouraged to participate in, the Regional Recycle Poster Contest and the National Doodle 4 Google Contest. Both are great opportunities for students to inspire others, help their community, and develop their own creative skills.
