Baton Rouge, La. – The
Southern University Agricultural Research & Extension Center (SUAREC) and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) are working
together to incentivize Outstanding Mature Girlz (O.M.G.) Club members that maintained a 3.5 – 4.0
grade point average for the first six weeks of the academic school year.
On Friday, October 9,
2015 – 15 Outstanding Mature Girlz will travel to AMC Theatre at the Mall of
Louisiana to watch the movie, “He Named Me Malala.” This documentary looks at the events that led to a vicious
attack by the Taliban on Malala Yousafzaia, a young women's rights activist in
Pakistan.
“Not only are
we rewarding young ladies for their academic excellence, but hopefully this movie
will spark insight to make social changes in their communities,” said Nicolette
Gordon, Assistant
Area Agent at the SU Ag Center. “I want them to see
the great lengths that young courageous women have endured for something we
often take for granted.”
The O.M.G.
Club meets every second Wednesday at Kentwood High Magnet School under the
leadership of Nicolette Gordon. For more
information on how you can be involved, contact Nicolette via email at nicolette_gordon@suagcenter.com or in the Tangipahoa Parish Extension Office at 985.748.9381.
