[CALIBK12] Fwd: [calix] Libraries, Schools Encouraged to Apply for Picturing America: Deadline Nov. 14

Thu Oct 23 10:02:07 PDT 2008

I was planning to apply, and then I learned that a 5th grade teacher at
another school in our district already submitted an application. Do you
think it would be OK to submit multiple applications from the same district?
Thanks,
