I can’t wait to show it to everyone. Seriously, I take it with me to work in my bag.”

“District computer staff built a Web site recently through Shutterfly, a program that allows users to create free sites. The site, which is updated weekly, is loaded with information that earlier would have gone home in paper form with students. ‘We were busy stuffing the folders one day and someone said, we have to figure out how to do it electronically,’ said Jean Hudson, the school’s administrative assistant. ‘Shutterfly is such an easy platform to work with, it’s incredible. It’s a great way for the school to promote going green.’ ...The use of less paper also has saved the school money.”
