Arkansas Next Giveaway: Parkview High School Student Wins One of Five Free Laptops
By Lindsay Irvin on Tuesday, February 21, 2012
We headed over to Parkview Arts & Science Magnet High School in Little Rock today to surprise the winner of one of two laptops we're giving away this month.
Phillip Broadway was speechless when his named was called in front of the entire school during an assembly this morning. He walked to the stage to claim his prize as his peers cheered him on. His school counselor Debra Myton delivered the news live on stage along with me and Arkansas Next associate publisher Rachel Bradbury. It was quite a moment!
We are so happy for him and enjoyed surprising him with the laptop -- and balloons!
Today's THV was on the scene to capture the moment (we'll post the video as soon as it's available).
For now, check out all the pictures on our Facebook page.
Arkansas Next and Best Buy Stores of Arkansas are giving away five free laptops to students across the state. Two presentations will take place in February including the one we're featuring here today (Feb. 21) and three more in May. Also in May, we'll draw one guidance counselor/teacher's name from the entries to win an Apple iPad.
You can still enter for your chance to win one of three laptops we'll giveaway in May.
Congratulations again, Phillip! And good luck to you all.
