Thank you to Ms. S. Jennings and her class from the Monument Charter Schools for taking the time to write to us and for letting us know how she uses this section of our site when working with her students - and, especially for her students enthusiasm for sharing an additional resource that they use. (See Ms. Jennings email to us and the students link directly below.) And - Ms. Jennings - WE ARE THRILLED YOU ARE USING OUR PAGE! It is exactly why our site has grown (overgrown!) so much and with an emphasis on child-safe and child-friendly content. We are educators at heart and using our site to further your efforts with your class help make all our work worthwhile.

Greetings,
My name is Steph and I hope that I am not intruding on your day. I have been using your page (http://nedv.net/parks/) for topics and ideas to engage my students with and it has been very beneficial to myself and my students so thank you. If you would prefer that I didn't use your page please let me know.
One of my students found another great page that we would like to share with you as a thank you for your wonderful site, (http://www.usa-people-search.com/content-national-parks-of-usa-and-their-influence-on-architecture.aspx) and we would love to know what you think. I am trying to teach my students to be proactive and engage with other educators outside of their own classrooms because I truly believe that it is pivotal to their long-term success. If you like the page and happen to use the link please let me know so I can share that with my students and revisit your page, and I know she will absolutely tickled pink with the idea of contributing to your page! My students are actually the ones who persuaded me to write you! Thank you so much for taking the time to read our email and I hope you have a wonderful day and all the best wishes!! :)
