20. Did you know?  Did you know that your student government has increased your chances to win a brand new I-PAD?  All you have to do to win one of four new I-PADS is tell your parents to fill out the Learning Environment Survey.  They should have received the survey in the mail, but if they did not, they can call the number provided on the DOE website, get their access code, and fill out the form electronically.  And then, if, and only if, 50% of the Brooklyn Tech parents respond to the survey, then I will give away four brand new I-Pads.  This is their school too.  So they should use their voice too.  And in the end, you can win big.  Good luck.  The deadline to complete your survey is April 23rd.

21. Attention Juniors: The price of the Semi-Formal ticket has now officially been REDUCED to $55. The deadline has been extended to Friday April 23rd. Payments can be made in 7C1 or on-line at the Brooklyn Tech website.
