NEWS ALERT: Kansas education actually gets some good press! ;)

Wednesday, February 3, 2010

Mama Mona (Manager of the K&M Ranch in Southeast Kansas) sent me the following email today:

"Oswego’s Neosho Heights Grade School is one of the top ten finalists in the nation for a library makeover, and they need everyone to spread the word because the winner will be determined by the number of votes they get.  You can vote once from each e-mail address.  Please go to  http://professional.us.acer.com/edu/LibraryMakeover to place your vote.  They are the only school from Kansas, so I think it would be nice if we supported them."
I didn't go to Neosho Heights Grade School (I'm a Meadow View Falcon, baby!), but I'm happy to support Kansas education in any way I can. (Including voting absentee for 6 years of college and grad school to help get a new tax approved to build a state of the art high school. But that got rejected everytime...silly Kansans.)

A little known fact about Southeast Kansas, is that it's one of the poorer regions of the state with the number of families utilizing social service assistance above the state average. So, if you get a moment, please help support rural education and vote for Neosho Heights to win the Acer library renovation. 

And, if you're in the market for a computer upgrade yourself, check out these deals on Acer Laptops. :)
