Wendy’s High School Heisman Blog Tour & Giveaway
By TheAngelForever | September 20, 2009
One of the things that I like about Wendy’s is their commitment to the community. I was recently asked by Mom Central to help promote the Wendy’s High School Heisman program.
If you have a child that is a senior, or know of one, this is a great program to look into. Here is more information:
"With college admissions growing more and more selective, the Wendy’s High School Heisman program presents a great opportunity to help those students who have managed to balance so much, stand out. This award celebrates high school seniors who excel in academics, athletics, and community involvement; in essence, recognizing them for all of the things they already do. Colleges want to see well-rounded students who demonstrate dedication and commitment, making this program especially relevant and accessible.
High school seniors who have a 3.0 average or higher, participate in a school-sponsored sport and contribute to their community can apply at www.WendysHeisman.com, or a high school educator, guidance counselor, or coach can nominate them. As a little reward, the first 41,100 applicants will receive a free Wendy’s gift card in amounts ranging from $5 to $50. One male and one female from each high school will win the award and continue on in competition for state and national awards. Twelve national finalists will participate in Heisman Weekend festivities during an all-expenses-paid trip Dec. 11-13 to New York City. ESPN2 will feature all 12 national finalists during the Wendy’s High School Heisman Awards Ceremony, which airs Dec. 13. The Wendy’s High School Heisman website will display the names of all applicants and individual school winners on October 22, 2009."
As a parent and teacher, I love that this program encourages a well rounded student. Not only are they looking for teens that are good at sports, but they need to do well academically and help within the community. Frequently asked questions are also addressed on the Wendy’s High School Heisman website. This section helps to walk students and parents through the process of applying for these awards.

I didn’t play any sports! Boo! My school had no sports, but if I had joined one I would probably join the track team or bicycling if they had it. :)
September 20th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
I was never really into sports, so I only ever played in grade school. However, if I had to play one in high school, I’d say soccer because I used to play that.

Well, I am WAY more sporty now than when I was in high school. I didn’t play a sport, but I wish I had played Soccer. My husband has been away for 20+ months (military), so it’s up to “mommy” to practice soccer with my 4 year old – and I love it! Sure wish I had more knowledge from playing in years past!!

I don’t play sports. I guess if I was athletic, I would have liked to have done gymnastics.

I played soccer in high school, but was on a community team because I was homeschooled. I loved it though!

After realizing in jr. high that I had no sports skills I decided not to play in high school. And I don’t regret it one bit. Some of us are just athletically challenged.

I never played sports in high school. I wish I had done some kind of sport, maybe swimming. . .all my kids have played sports in high school though!
September 24th, 2009 at 1:24 am
I was fairly good at running. I guess track would have been my best fit. I’m not exactly athletically inclined though.
