They are highly motivated by the points and prizes as well. Lets continue this great program!kmaroneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936515728924728532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357078288701611232.post-57401165372100139272010-02-12T15:40:37.966-07:002010-02-12T15:40:37.966-07:00Thanks for the comment.

Apangea is not one of them. It is a waste of education dollars that could be used better in other areas. Please discontinue this part of the initiative rather than supporting your political buddies ie Skip Smyser. Our schools need the money worse than he does.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009271025135421849noreply@blogger.com
