Kuder System Enhancements

It’s that time of year again when school is coming to a close, the weather is heating up, and the days are getting longer. It is also that time of year when we make our planned updates, changes, and additions to the Kuder system.

We will make several enhancements to the system for it to continue to be the best and most comprehensive system on the market. Watch for more information this fall.

Updates from the Harrington Foundation

Over 3,200 Scholarship Applications Received
Now in its second year offering the scholarships, the Harrington Foundation is very pleased with the overwhelming response it received this year. The application period is now closed and our scholarship committee is reviewing the applications. We plan to award nearly $10,000 to this year’s applicants. Three national and seven state scholarships will be awarded in June.

10,000 Students Want an iPod Nano
With one month left to go in the 2006-07 iPod drawings, over 10,700 individuals have registered to win an iPod. This popular prize is still drawing enthusiasm and encouraging students to continue to use the Kuder system.
