Registration is open for the 11th annual Lights On Afterschool this October 21, 2010! 

The U.S. Department of Education and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention have signed up for the nation’s biggest afterschool celebration, and the Empire State Building has announced that it again will light up in yellow in honor of Lights On Afterschool!   Take part by opening your doors to show off what is happening after school.

Register now and you could win cool giveaways from FEIT ELECTRIC.  You will also get free posters and event tips and updates.  Our online toolkit makes it easy to plan an event, from a talent show to a large rally.  Every site registered in August will be entered in a drawing to win 100 energy-saving, long lasting, earth-friendly compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).   Give the light bulbs to your event guests, use them at your program, or let kids take them home to remind parents how your program keeps the lights on after school.

Last year, 1 million Americans celebrated Lights On Afterschool, from New Hampshire to New Mexico.  We know that times are hard, and families and communities have to do more with much less.  Afterschool support is more important now than ever.  Let’s show the country what can - and should - happen after school.   

Warm regards,
The Afterschool Alliance
