    Is there any way to check which school is winning? I put my votes in but I'd like to know the Coptic schools are going :)

    lol that's fine Dimyan. And after I voted, it said soon they'd post the schools who are in the lead.

    Here is a video of Fr. Anthony Messeh of DC asking for our support in this contest:


    and here is the link for the school in TN (the other link was for the DC one):

    that's soo cool that they're doing this. i have the feeling that alot of people who aren't familiar with the coptic faith may think its extinct. this is a great start. god willing there will be more coptic schools all over the world!

    Good news! Good Shepherd is in 3rd place and St Clement is in 15th so far. The top 20 schools will get the prize and there is still a month left, be sure to spread the word and vote if you haven't already! Plus, dont neglect St Clement Academy please! Thanks everyone God bless :)

    yes, this link: http://apps.facebook.com/KohlsCares/home/leaderboard

    Just a comment, Good Shepherd is in 3rd place, almost dropped to 4th, but St Clement dropped down to a dangerous 18th place!! Why such a discrepancy? Everyone voting for the one school should vote for the other as well. Keep it up everyone =)

    Ahem: The Jewish schools are advancing exponentially and we are barely moving. Come on everyone!!!

    How do you see the Winners?
  • IoannesIoannes
    alright, done.
  • teji aflio
    oops didnt realize there was a thread for this already. voted!

    Everyone, all the Jewish schools are knocking us out of the race! All the people on my facebook are from a small area in America so I want to spread the word to other regions of America, Canada, Europe, Australia, Egypt, and everywhere else. No matter which country you're in -- spread the word. Post a link on your facebook profile, invite your friends to vote, tell everyone at your coptic church or meetings, your priests, etc. We can do this!!
  • abanoub2000abanoub2000
    my priest made 2 announcements about it... the Egyptian people were like 'facebook? eh el facebook deh'
  • mekheel
    Peace & Love,
    Please vote for this school too "St. Mary Child Development Center/St. Mark Christian Acadamy"
    Troy, Michigan. God bless
  • user00
    Keep going everyone! And mekheel, I wish you would have said something sooner. I don't have any more votes left, and we kept spread the word about 2 coptic schools, I had no idea there was another one. I fear it is too late, the top schools have over 20,000 votes this late in the game.
  • user00
    Please spread the word, to Europe, Egypt, Australia.... I don't want it to be limited to the East Coast of the US... We're coming up short in votes =(
  • teji aflio
    Everyone please make sure to vote for St. Clement Coptic Orthodox Academy in Nashville, TN. They are in 20th place, just one spot away from losing. It's a great school that could really use the money. If you've already voted, please pray for all the schools' success.
