Drivers in Mississippi can now show their support for afterschool, and support local programs, by purchasing a new "Afterschool is Key" license plate. $24 of the $30 purchase price will go toward afterschool programs in the purchaser's home county.

The plate was made possible by the efforts of the Mississippi Afterschool Alliance and Peavey Electronics Corporation, which supports the Alliance. It was unveiled on November 28 at the Meridian Lights On Afterschool rally.

State residents can order the "Afterschool is Key" license plate by completing and returning the following form:
