Thank you Best Buy Foundation for the $5000 Community Grant to continue support to our
Technology Opportunities program to enrich and expose students to Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math. We are honored to partner with Best Buy to provide STEM educational
opportunities for underrepresented students in Calvert County and we look forward to
seeing the positive impact the donation will have on our students as we provide hands-on
activities to increase awareness and understanding of STEM career options. Best Buy,
which is located in Waldorf, Maryland, contributed the grant to LEAP Forward
through the Best Buy Foundation, which is made possible
through contributions of Best Buy Co., Inc retail store operations and special fundraising.
The community grant supports programs that give teens access to opportunities through
technology.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments from Guest Speaker Mr. Norman R. McConney, Jr.
Excellence is about an opportunity to excel. Given an opportunity to excel; education without “consciousness” is “nothingness”.
What are you going to do with your excellence? Are you going to give back?
Your opportunity is a gift attached to your giving back.
Make a difference. Set a trend. Be academic capable and qualified. Stand for something.
This movement in this country about not serving people has to be stopped.
Don’t leave without a message you can carry forward. Make your mind work for someone besides yourself.
