President Bush will honor science teacher Mark Farrand from Rapid City Central High School also SDSTA President (2004-2006) to receive the highest honor for teaching in these fields. Way to go Mark!

www.planetarkive.org; www.arkive.org; and
www.arkiveeducation.org . For our high school chemistry teachers, you may download presentations from
www.markrosengarten.com and for our 4-8 grade teachers, they may download clean air materials and lesson plans from
www.cleanaircampaign.com select "For Schools."
I will leave you with a quote from Aristotle "Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity."
Enjoy your summer!
