As a part of its ongoing Partners in Education initiatives, The Avenue® East Cobb is partnering with Lassiter High School's Marketing Department (part of the Career Tech Department) to treat teachers to THE STYLE upGRADE. Over 30 teachers from Lassiter High School nominated themselves to win a style makeover sponsored by The Avenue East Cobb. Voting is now closed. Based on over 8,700 votes from the community, two lucky teachers were selected to win a style makeover package valued at over $1,000.
Congratulations to the two winners - Ms. Beal and Ms. Green. Ms. Cook, Ms. Matthews and Ms. Prestwood all received gift baskets from The Avenue along with a $100 Visa Gift Card for their own STYLE upGRADE.
Thank you to CLIX Portrait Studios, Chico's, LensCrafters, Talbots, Talbots Woman and Van Michael Salon (Coming Soon to The Avenue East Cobb) for their generous support. THE STYLE upGRADE photos will be revealed live on Lassiter Network News and online at the end of March.
