Special Thanks for Supporting LAPSEN

The ACTE conference was a huge success for LAPSEN! We added greatly to our network of western state leaders, teachers and administrators. We sponsored some great sessions and had a blast at our evening receptions. None of this could have been possible without support from our partners iCEV, SAVE and Precision Exams!
