Washington D.C. Trip
Petit Jean Electric is once again sponsoring an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C. and Philadelphia, PA, for any junior whose parent is a cooperative member. Students can enter by filling out a form and writing a short essay on the "Uniqueness of Electric Cooperative Utilities." Several of our students have gone in the past, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where you get to meet juniors from all over the United States and see some of our most famous country's landmarks such as the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, the White House, Ford's Theater, Smithsonian Institute, and more for free. See Mrs. Wilson for details. The deadline is March 15.
