THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTES! Alumni, Family, Friends, FAD, PTA and Students
Who Joined in for the A&D  #GiveWithTarget Campaign!!

 

Target Pormo

THE FINAL VOTES ARE IN . Target reached its $5 Million give-away goal this morning and closed the campaign -- and the voting. We did well, thanks to all of you who voted, and got your classmates, friends and family members to vote for Art & Design. When we first came across the campaign during the 2nd week of September -- almost 4 weeks after other schools had already been receiving their votes -- Art & Design High School had ZERO votes. The campaign was originally set to end on Sept. 21st. We were fortunate that Target decided to extend it for another week. With your help we got A&D on the "leading schools" board for the city [Manhattan] -- first in 5th place. And finally, by this morning, 4th place. We wound up with 616 votes (17 more than LaGuardia Arts, which dropped to 5th place after our surge)! Every school won dollars for the number of votes they got. The High School of Art and Design will be receiving a Target gift card worth $616. (Next year we can start early and win even more dollars for A&D.) Thank you all.

Special Thanks to Yvonne Fitzner for taking the lead and showing us how one person can make a difference.
