THE PROGRAM…..
The Pre-Teen America Academic and Enrichment Program was founded in 1990 by Patricia Daniel of Baton Rouge, LA. The first Pre-Teen America state event (Pre-Teen Louisiana) was held in Baton Rouge in 1991. The 2008 Pre-Teen America National Event will be held July 3-8, 2008 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The 2007 state representatives, runners-up and optional speech and talent category winners will compete for more than $25,000 in Educational Savings Bonds, Prizes and Awards. The 2008 state representatives, runners-up and optional speech and talent category winners will qualify for participation in the 2009 National Event, which will be held July 2-7, 2009 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. .Since its inception, over 87,000 bright and gifted young ladies have participated in the program nationwide and the program has awarded more than $1,000,000 in Educational Savings Bonds, Scholarships and Awards. In addition, the program has donated more then $395,000 to its past and present National Charities, the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Shriners’ Hospitals for Children headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The Pre-Teen America Program is an event designed to recognize the nation’s outstanding Pre-Teens, as well as, to provide an avenue to promote high moral standards of excellence, fellowship, family values and social development. Participation in the program allows outstanding young ladies from across the nation to be recognized for their positive qualities and to be applauded for their superior commitment to excellence in learning and in character. The program will select two individual winners who will prove to be truly exceptional
in their individual age groups. In addition, each participant will be publicly recognized
for her outstanding achievements in academics, athletics, the arts, knowledgeability,
creativity, community service, personal development, communications and much, much more.
The program ultimately rewards hundreds of young ladies nationwide with an opportunity to
become the leaders of tomorrow and to provide an avenue in which they can truly make a
difference in our world. Another important function of the program is to promote positive social skills, such as
good manners and proper etiquette, as well as, to make friends and pen pals and to create
a new realization and awareness within themselves about their own special potential. With
all of the negative media coverage that we hear and read on a daily basis in our world,
the Pre-Teen America Program strives to provide hope, hope for our families, our
environment, our future and our nation. ABOUT THE ACADEMY.......
