JAKE'S TAKE ON TECHNOLOGY |
|
"I am very excited about and proud to be
a part of the results that were achieved by the teachers and
students in the 1999-2000 school year. I expect the trend of
increasing scores to continue this year. As we begin this new
school year, I hope everyone takes time to remember why we all
work so hard. The children in our schools are worth the work
and the effort. We are swamped with things to be upgraded as
the new year begins, but the School Board and Mr. Allen are providing
greater resources for all of us to continue to help you accomplish
great things. Have a wonderful first month as we begin a great
year." |

Don't mistake the information in your computer for knowledge:"Information
is just signs and numbers, while knowledge
involves their meaning. What we want is knowledge, but what
we get is information."
