Share The Advantage: Cancun

Image
We believe in giving back.  In November 2012, 333 Southwestern Advantage student reps participated in our ' Share The Advantage ' service projects in Mexico over their Thanksgiving break. These young people took time out of their annual incentive trip to selflessly give back to local non-profits that help children who are living in challenging situations. In the three locations - Playa Del Carmen, Cancun, and Cabo San Lucas - student reps personally donated a total of $21,909.86 in school supplies, toys, and cash.  This video gives a look at what took place in Cancun  at Mundo Infantil Daycare and the APAFHDEM Organization. See the photos from this event on our Facebook page .

SW Advantage Science Review Coverage of topics/suggestions:   Very good coverage Layout/presentation: I have to say that I love the look of this book. It is near ā€œeye  candyā€ rating for me, visually very pleasing. For the most part, it does not appear too busy.  I think that Biology and Ecology look the busiest of all the areas but it is the nature of the  topics.
