Thank you very much to the one hundred and twenty
six teachers who took the time to take our online survey! All of
those teachers received NewsDepth pencils for their students –
6,228 in all! We learned a lot from the survey results as well as
from your excellent comments. One teacher wrote, “I have not
used the additional materials on your web site in the past, but
after filling out this survey I am inspired to take a look at them.”
We’re glad to know that!
