Dear Parents:
Waller Junior High Schools� Technology Education Program is participating in a unique fund-raising program called "Bug Bucks", that can help us earn up to $2,000 towards the purchase of our own school AirWatch Weather Station while providing our community with a valuable resource for live weather conditions from our school.
The AirWatch Weather Station is part of the Worldwide School WeatherNet Program and is an innovative teaching tool that brings real-world applications into the classroom and creates a learning environment that excites students about science, math and geography. This powerful program will provide our teachers with practical uses of both the Internet and today's latest classroom technology. It incorporates an advanced weather monitoring system with educational software, and customized curriculum. Our weather data will also be available to the community via the Internet, local TV news and on "WeatherBug".
Helping us earn "Bug Bucks" is easy. All you need to do is download "WeatherBug", the cool, FREE desktop weather program for your PC computer. WeatherBug provides instant access to live, neighborhood weather conditions from participating schools (soon to be our school), personal forecasts, storm warnings and alerts, weather Cam images, radar pictures and more. If you like to know what the weather is doing, WeatherBug is the program for you.
To download WeatherBug, go to http://weatherbug.com/schools and click on the "Download" button. Once you have downloaded the program, you will be asked to register and enter our school promotional code number: 3CKCY. WeatherBug will only accept one registration per computer, so be sure to pass this address along to family and friends using the "Share the Bug With a Friend" e-mail form that is found on the lower right-hand corner of the Bug. Just remember to pass along our special promotion code so that we get proper credit.
You can track our progress by going to the following web site: http://weatherbug.com/schools and searching for our school. For more information on this program contact Kevin Schanck at 234-5931.
Thank you for your support!
Catch the WeatherBug�it�s the only safe Bug on the �Net! |
