//Visionaries students meet with author Donna Jo Napoli in the MIddle School Library! This program was provided FREE through MAGPI and the Internet 2 Commons. Four other PA schools participated. You can see into their classrooms at the bottom and right sides of the screen.//

Teachers in the Northwestern Lehigh School District have ready access to Internet 2 and a free MAGPI subscription, which provides access to hundreds of educational distance learning programs. At our Middle School, we have the equipment to bring experts and field trips right into your classroom!
