Earlier this year, we entered the Follett Challenge, a program created by Follett to find and reward schools for their work applying technology, content and creativity in ways that engage students, foster literacy and promote critical thinking.  As part of the competition, we created a short video about what makes our program unique.

Please support us by viewing our video and voting for our submission at the Follett Challenge website under the “View Entries” tab at the following link: http://www.follettchallenge.com/video.cfm?id=362

30% of our total score is based on how well we spread the word about our video and earn votes!  You can cast one vote per day from now until March 15th, so be sure to visit often! You will receive a confirmation email to confirm your vote.

By casting your vote, you’ll help us to spread the word about all the exciting activities going on in our school.
