The Illinois Learning & Technology Purchasing Program (ILTPP) has established a Microsoft purchasing program for all Illinois K-12 teachers, staff, and students. These are licenses that students, faculty, and staff buy on their own and will personally own forever. In the past this group would have to pay $499 for Office Professional in local stores. Through this purchasing program, the same product costs less than $90. Parents and staff can literally save hundreds of dollars and obtain lifelong learning tools. All pricing and orders can be found at: http://www.cdwg.com/academic/store. From the menu on the site, choose K-12, United States, Illinois, Morton Community Unit School District 709, to see the software available.

Recognition for April 2008
Volunteers and Parents
Name or Group To Recognize: Jefferson Parents
Jefferson School is so fortunate to have such a great group of dedicated parents who work so hard to make Jefferson even better. They are here every time we need help with anything, they are supportive when teachers need extra help, and they never tire of trying to provide whatever we need at the moment. Besides that, they are raising some wonderful children who make this world a better place. Sometimes we forget to say thank-you, but we all do appreciate all that you do each day. We all know we couldn't do what we do without your help. Thank-you!

It has been a great first year for me and much of that can be attributed to the positive communication I have had with the parents and the students I work with. It's been nice getting to know many of you and I truly appreciate the support you give to the school and the counseling office. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the help you have given this year. I appreciate those of you who helped with parties and sent in treats. I also appreciate your supplying monthly snacks for the class. However, thanks most of all for the encouragement and support you have given your child during this second grade year. They have shown success and you should be proud!

Our Lincoln School Carnival went very well this year and

They pitch in and do whatever needs to be done no matter the job. I know this is true all across the districtand we are thankful for this.
Caring, concerned and active parents and volunteers are one of the reasons we have such a fantastic district.
