Parents,

This web page is a part of my company's website - www.ctss.com.  Our company does computer support and training and you can find out more information about the company by going to the home page.

I really enjoyed having your children in the Après Internet Scavenger Hunt class.  This web page was set up so the kids could easily go back to any of the websites they visited in class.  Some of the information we looked for in class may not be on the websites in the weeks to come since web sites change so quickly.  All they have to do is click on the hyperlinks and they will take them to the correct site.

Many of these web sites will be useful for school projects and help with homework.  You might want to bookmark this page for future reference.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at ctsmail@ctss.com

Thanks,

Diane Newberry
