>>Dear John Sutton:
>>
>>Every State Superintendent in the US has recently received a letter from
>>Richard Robinson, President of Scholastic Inc., announcing the launch of
>>Scholastic's Internet Discovery Program. Through this unprecedented
>>initiative every elementary and middle school with an Internet
>>connection can have free access to the award-winning, standards-based
>>content and learning events on Scholastic Network for the next three
>>months.
>>
>>The New York Times recently singled out Scholastic Network as the
>>premier educational Internet-content service, noting that "the bulk of
>>what passes for education on computers is a long way from the
>>well-crafted programs of Scholastic."
>>
>>We now have more than 35,000 classrooms using this service throughout
>>the United States. But we want even more teachers and students to
>>benefit from this unique online resource.
>>
>>That's why, for the next three months, we are waiving Scholastic
>>Network's subscription fee (regularly $2,199 for a school-wide site
>>license) to give all teachers and their students an opportunity to see
>>what's really possible in online learning.
>>
>>I urge you to encourage your members to act now to take advantage of
>>this free opportunity. All they have to do is call our toll-free
>>number: 1-800-296-1876. One of our school representatives will set them
>>up with everything they need. For further details they can also go to
>>http://scholastic.com/discovery/
>>
>>I am also attaching a copy of our press release, which outlines some of
>>our upcoming online learning events.
>>
>>Please feel free to e-mail me at nusborne@scholastic.com with any
>>further questions.
