Schools may earn a Gold or Silver School Award.
A school may apply for Gold and Silver Status and be recognized at the annual awards program. Send evidence by Feb. 28. Using the rubric, schools create a PowerPoint presentation that documents what the STLP is doing. The major components are: targeting the mission and goals, describing types of projects, detailing recruitment, describing the membership process and community awareness, stating the vision of the STLP program, and discussing the schoolÕs participation as a representative of STLP outside their building.
SILVER: Schools that reach the Silver Status level may reapply for Gold Status. GOLD: Once a school has reached the Gold Status, the school is Gold. If the coordinator changes, a school still holds the Gold status.
RETAIN GOLD: All schools that reach gold status are asked to update the status with an email each year. The email prompt will ask coordinators to describe membership, recruitment and a favorite project of that year. This allows a school to Retain Gold Status each year.
Each year, Retain Gold Schools are asked to stand during the awards.
