2012 Gathering of Champions Logo Chosen

The votes are in, and the logo for the 2012 Gathering of Champions has been chosen! Congratulations to Brett Poppler, grade 3 from Humphrey Elementary in Waverly, part of the Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted School District.

Synergy & Leadership Exchange (Synergy) received 32 outstanding entries from August to December. Entries were posted to the Synergy website for voting. Nearly 400 votes were cast throughout December and January.

Poppler’s original design will appear on promotional and event materials for the Gathering of Champions, which is held annually at Nickelodeon Universe® in the Mall of America. He will also receive a scholarship for his entry and will be acknowledged at the Gathering of Champions. This year’s event is scheduled for Aug. 3.

The Gathering of Champions is an annual statewide event honoring students who are named as Academic All-Stars by officials in participating schools. Nearly 4,000 people attended the Gathering of Champions at the Great Room in Nickelodeon Universe® at the Mall of America last year to honor and celebrate Minnesota Academic All-Star students. The honored students may include top academic achievers, students who have made a dramatic improvement in their academic work or achievement, and the top finishers in academic challenges and competitions at a regional or higher level endorsed by the Minnesota Academic League Council.

Look for information this spring on how you can nominate your students as Academic All-Stars! All Academic All-Stars and their families are invited to attend the Gathering of Champions on Aug. 3. Recognize your students for their hard work and effort this year!
