AWE Early Literacy Station Spring 2012 Order

Our twice-yearly order period for the AWE Early Literacy Stations is happening again, until June 27 this year.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with these products, they are computers with software programs designed for children, and twice a year we aggregate the orders of everyone, combining them so that everyone gets the best price regardless of whether they buy 1 unit or 20.  We are on the 13th order of these units - twice a year for over 6 years now - and we've only missed the 50+ price twice, so we generally reach that.

If you would like to see pricing, or get more info, check out www.califa.org/uploadfiles/AWESpring2012.pdf and let me know if you have any questions.
