2012 UOG "Big G" Float Artwork Competition Contest

The University of Guam Liberation Day Committee is pleased to announce the details of an art contest that will be the source of inspiration for our float entry this year. The main theme of the 2012 parade has yet to be announced. For the purpose of this contest, however, the objective is to find a float design that will represent the University of Guam while concurrently showcasing Chamorro culture, values and traditions (general themes used in past parades). This contest is open to all entrants who have an affinity to the University.

Winners of the Float Competition
will receive the following cash prizes:
1st Prize $300
2nd Prize $200
3rd Prize $100

L.P. Untalan Middle School to Reopen on Tiyan Campus

L. P. Untalan Middle School will remain closed until further notice.  In an effort to expedite the resumption of classes for the island’s oldest school, the Department of Education has been working collaboratively with the Office of the Governor as well as Core Tech International to get students back into the classroom. The targeted opening date is January 24th but is dependent on approval of the necessary permits.

Volunteers and donations are integral to making the move in this short period of time. Individuals or businesses wanting to assist are asked to contact Andy Leon Guerrero at 888-4127 or aleonguerrero@gdoe.net.

The Guam Education Board, along with DOE management are working to put timelines in place inclusive of an adjusted school calendar for Untalan Middle School. As we prepare to move Untalan into the Tiyan campus information will be released as it becomes available.
