May 2006 Editor's Letter
By: Jill Pinheiro

I'm so excited to bring you this year's Buyer's Guide. With more than 350 companies and more than 100 categories, it's our biggest edition yet! This means you're holding a valuable and comprehensive tool that can assist you all year as you evaluate and choose products and services for your Christian school.

While our magazine covers everything, inside and out, that you need to effectively and efficiently operate your educational facility (from the landscaping and signage that provides a "first impression" of your school to visitors to all of the equipment and supplies for your administrative/office duties), we devote the most categories to outfitting your school's classrooms, as this is ultimately the heart of your school and the place where your students ultimately spend the most time. It's understandable that you're particularly concerned that the products and services for your classrooms are of the highest quality, and our Buyer's Guide reflects this priority. With 16 categories, I think you'll find that we've left no stone unturned, including everything from furniture, presentation tools and equipment, software, and teaching aids.

I hope this Buyer's Guide has a year-long place on your bookshelf and that by next May, when we release a new edition, it's dog-eared and well-worn from your frequent use.

I welcome your feedback on this special issue. You can reach me at jill@cspmag.com.

God Bless,
