Good morning:

On behalf of NAPE Educational Foundation President, Mary Wiberg, and the
Foundation CEO, Mimi Lufkin, I am again pleased to inform you that the
National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity Educational Foundation has
received a grant award from the Texas Instruments Foundation in the amount
of $413,000 over three years to manage and expand the impact of the highly
successful High-Tech High Heels (HTHH) program.

Based in Dallas, HTHH has been effectively preparing girls to pursue degrees
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) since 2003 by
working with both educators and students, primarily in two North Texas
school districts (Dallas and Plano). Over the next three years, the new
grant will allow NAPE-EF to enrich the current offerings with their
expertise and resources and broaden their partnerships in North Texas to
strengthen and expand the program to at least two new districts, as well as
build a national model to benefit all educators and their students.

The attached news release was featured by Dallas Morning News and crossed
the wire this morning via PR Newswire at 9 a.m. central time.

Special thanks go to the 30 Texas Instruments (TI) women executives who -
concerned with the low number of women graduating with technology-related
degrees - made personal contributions in 2001 to fund development of the
program. Today the program has successfully expanded under the leadership
of HTHH Co-Chair Melendy Lovett, TI senior vice president and president of
TI's Education Technology business; HTHH Co-Chair, TI Fellow, and NAPE Board
of Trustees member Wanda Gass; and NAPE's Diversity Consultant and Executive
Director to HTHH, Tegwin Pulley.

Have a great week.
