Antawn's Extra Effort Awards Charlotte, NC - On Monday, May 19, 2003, Charlotte native Antawn Jamison began a program with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system that will reward about 200 students in six schools for their dedication and hard work. “The Extra Effort Awards is a pilot program that I am executing with a few schools this year in hopes of launching a similar program on a larger scale next year that will involve many more schools. I want to reward those students who are constantly working hard in school but might not make the Honor Roll,” says Jamison. Photo by nba.com The program will focus on middle and high school students. The schools involved in the pilot program are: Providence High, Olympic High, Garinger High, Marie G. Davis Middle, Eastway Middle and Kennedy Middle. Jamison will reward all recipients with pizza parties, autographed certificates and recognition on his personal website (www.antawnjamison.net). On Monday, Olympic, Providence and Garinger students were rewarded and enjoyed their pizza parties. Marie G. Davis, Eastway and Kennedy will be awarded during the following week.
