“The Day” – short survey for teachers about usage

In case you missed it in the Friday daily bulletin:

Our usage of “The Day” for news at various reading levels is phenomenal! So much so that they are willing to give us a discount if we explain how it is being used in class. So, please, if you use “The Day” in your classes, fill out this four-question survey.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Filming on Tuesday in Secondary

Hello Secondary Teachers!

A warm and friendly reminder that our friends at Orbit will be filming around the Secondary school all day on Tuesday. This is for b-roll footage for our upcoming new Secondary school video. We would love to get some classroom shots so will be stopping by different classrooms. As always, if you would rather we didn’t film, please let us know.

Best regards and many thanks,

Kyle
