Fall is here and that means school is well underway and many of the usual back-to-school challenges have been overcome. For our friends affected by Hurricane Katrina, however, this year poses new and significant difficulties that will remain throughout the school year and beyond. In an effort to help, SchoolSpring is providing special recruiting services for educators and schools affected by the hurricane. If you, your school, or an educator you know has been directly impacted by Hurricane Katrina, please visit our website at www.SchoolSpring.com to learn more. I hope you enjoy the newsletter and please call 888-546-3487 or email us at contact@schoolspring.comif you have any questions or comments.
