Excellent article. I'm quoting some of its bullet point FIRST facts in our next Sponsor packet/ PR release.

I'm not sure how effective the article would be in attracting prospective students (they're just random numbers to the average kid) but boy those numbers gotta knock the socks off of prospective schools and businesses.

Definitely a great article. If others are putting together a sponsor packet / PR release or a presentation to a potential sponsor, there are more evaluation results, along with some great graphics, available on the FIRST web pages:

I actually did see the article in the D&C and i scanned it in and sent it to the Principal of our school. Though, now I know that I could have found it online and I could have made it easier by sending the link to the article. I'm also going to take quotes from it to put into a sponsorship packet because the editorial proved some really good points.
