Wake Electric will have the drawing for its “Give Us an A” program Jan. 20. They will award 40 local students who received at least one “A” (or its equivalent) on their report cards can compete in the drawing.

Students in any grade in Durham, Franklin, Granville, Johnston, Nash, Vance and Wake counties are eligible to apply. Students do not have to live in a household served by Wake Electric in order to be eligible to apply.

Send an entry form with A copy of the report card with all “A”s highlighted, parents’ or guardians’ names, home address, an email address that is checked regularly, school attending and telephone number.

Mail entries to Wake Electric, Post Office Box 1229, Wake Forest, NC 27588. Be sure to put the entry to the attention of “Give Us an A” Contest. Students can also fax their entries to the co-op at .863-6430.

Because each school district may have a different time for issuing report cards, if a student’s entry misses one deadline, the entry will automatically be included in the next drawing.

Wake Electric members fund this program through the Operation RoundUp program. Members who sign up to participate in the Operation RoundUp program elect to have their monthly electric bill rounded up to the next whole dollar. These pennies collectively add up to major dollars for community programs.
