Working with West Bay!
We are working with the West Bay Collaborative. Our invoices will look quite different this year. Hopefully you appreciate our efforts to streamline the system. Please let us know of any staff changes, either in the business or tech departments. It is easier for everyone if correspondence goes to the appropriate people.
Summer Reading with Sweet Reads
Sora Sweet Reads kicks off on May 12!
This year’s selection is a mix of more than 100 ebooks (and select audiobooks) spanning grades K-12 – available for free and simultaneous use until August 25. All content availability may vary by geographic market.
All titles will be prominently displayed in a themed curation on your school’s Sora Explore page – with the option to weed out the collection as needed. More information will be in our May newsletter, but you can preview the collection here.
Exploring Nature Science Education Resources
The April newsletter features spring activities, schools gardens, and ideas for Earth Day. Did you know that the first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970 to draw attention to how we were affecting the Earth. The second Earth Day was not for 20 years. Now Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22nd.
