From the Desk of Judi!This week's topic is: FLAG DAY
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the United States. In 1877, citizens held celebrations throughout the country in honor of the flag's hundredth birthday. From that time on, groups urged the government to declare June 14 "Flag Day." Their requests finally met with success in 1949, when President Harry Truman signed legislation making June 14th a national day of remembrance.

It's starting to catch on and several districts have enrolled. That's great news. This is the free (yes, free!) service that will match your state's curriculum standards to over 4,000 curriculum software titles and give district administrators unprecedented control over the acquisition process. Districts that subscribe to the edumatch District Service Option get a revolutionary new tool for complying with state curriculum standards and a system of checks and balances for controlling district spending on software. There's much more, of course. We encourage you to go to www.edumatch.com and click on District Service Option on the home page.
