It's a Contest!

     I have a contest for YOU!  The new Kidspiration Version 2 has just come out, and I was one of the Beta Testers for the program as it was being developed.  They thanked me with programs,  so I have some copies of the new version 2 to give away (an individual program is $50).  It will be EASY to enter to win your own copy of the new version! 
1.  Email me at BBARR@Fayette.k12.ky.us
2.  Write a simple description (50 words or less) of how you would like to use the program in your classroom!
3.  Send in your email by Wednesday, February 18th!

Good Luck!
