| 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."
