We came, We shopped...

We had a great turn-out for yesterday's Used Curriculum Flea Market, Open House, and Panel Discussion! I heard that most of our sellers sold quite a bit and that most of the buyers went away happy. We had a terrific discussion about a lot of "hot topics" during the panel discussion as well.

Were you there???



Did you miss the June used curriculum sale? If so, be sure to put the next one, sponsored by Illinois HOUSE, on your calendar today!
