Echo Lake Elementary chosen as Apple Distinguished School for 2009-2010

By Mary Koontz and Paul Shanahan, Principals

We are proud to announce that Echo Lake School has been chosen as an Apple Distinguished School for the third year in a row. Our school's continued accomplishments in creating a digital learning environment that prepares students for future success warranted ongoing recognition.

This school year, Echo Lake will join a growing cadre of 54 schools that Apple is recognizing nationwide and is the only one in the state of Washington.

The Apple Distinguished School designation is reserved for schools that have achieved a 21st century vision of education utilizing Apple technology. Only schools that have demonstrated vision, leadership and successful implementation of technology that supports teaching and learning are honored in this way. Apple will be presenting this award at a school board meeting this spring.

Thanks to all students, staff and parents that have contributed to our achievement of this distinguished Apple award.
