Speak Up News, January 4, 2018

Happy New Year and welcome back to school (and happy snow day to many of you)!

A few quick reminders this week:
1. Classroom photo and video challenges need participants! We are offering up to $200 in Amazon gift cards for classroom supplies to winning entries!
2. Speak Up Appreciation Week starts on Monday (1/8)! If you have been waiting to participate in Speak Up 2017, this is the time to do it...every survey submitted this week from your district increases your district's chances of winning conference registrations from AASA, CUE ISTE, MassCUE, METC, NCCE or TCEA.
3. Share our design challenge with your high school students! We want to have a student-designed participation badge for Speak Up 2018. The winning designer (or design team) will win a $150 gift card!
4. Speak Up 2017 closes on January 19th. Get your student, staff, parent and community surveys in to make sure you have awesome data to work with starting next month!

Thank you for reading! Feel free to share your thoughts with us on Facebook, Twitter, and our Blog.
