The 2010 Census forms begin arriving in mailboxes across the country this week, and the Census Bureau wants to make sure you know what to look for. So, several twenty-foot high replicas of the form began touring the nation on Tuesday. The giant forms are part of an effort to encourage people to fill out the census and mail it back. And this reminds us to remind you to take the Newsdepth Census on our website. It's quick and easy, and we hope your school is part of the count!
