SCHOLASTIC OLYMPICS INC

Description

Scholastic Olympics, Inc., is a grassroots, nonprofit organization that attacks learning deficits with alternative or unconventional educational programs. We have sponsored such programs as NBA Math Hoops, Pabulum (a writing program) and Happenin’ History. Scholastic Olympics’ signature program, developed in 2010, is an annual academic quadrathlon of math, history, speech and spelling. High school students win cash prizes, medals, plaques and other gifts donated by government and business groups. We work closely with the Prince George’s County Public Schools and partner with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation. The goal is to celebrate the academic achievements of students the same way we award and support student athletes. The competitions have impacted thousands of students in the eight years of operation and rewarded about 100 students nearly $30,000.
