Resources for Educators
Given the tremendous amount of resources available for students online, I have worked with the Office of the Clerk and the Government Printing Office to share with educators some of the printouts available online. Please feel free to download, print and use this material as needed. Additionally, I have included a pamphlet with information regarding the 2007 - 2008 school year for High School educators.

Each year, a nation-wide, high school art competition is sponsored by the U.S. House of Representatives. This
contest is open to all high school students living and/ or attending school in Tennessee's Seventh Congressional District.
A panel of judges selects the District winner, and the first place artwork is sent to Washington, D.C. to be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel of the United States Capitol. The winner in each Congressional district (along with his or her parents) will receive donated airfare to attend a reception and see their artwork displayed. The District winner will
also be eligible to receive a $1,500 annual admission scholarship to the Savannah College of Art. One national winner will be selected from all of the congressional districts.
Please contact one of my district offices for additional information.
