To encourage youth to attend and excel at school, CIRI conducts twice-yearly prize drawings for students in grades 7-12 who maintain a GPA of 3.5 or above and/ or students who miss no more than four classes in the reporting period. Each winner receives a $100 gift card. Please join us in congratulating the following CIRI shareholders and confirmed descendants who qualified for the drawing based on their 2020-2021 academic year (first and/or second semester) GPA, attendance record or both:
