Editor's Letter
By: Jill Hasty Pinheiro

I'm so excited to bring you this year's Buyer's Guide. With more than 1,000 companies and 135 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.

From our five years of publication, we know that some of the most important topics for you, as school leaders, are: 1) classroom furniture, 2) gym & athletic equipment, 3) curriculum, and 4) playground equipment. That's the primary reason we started supplements on these topics that we include with your issues throughout the year. Our Buyer's Guide is representative of the popularity of these subjects, as well.

For example, we have more than 800 companies listed in our Classroom Equipment & Supplies category that supply every element you need to properly outfit your classrooms, from chairs and desks, to computers and software, to teaching aids.

Recreation, in sports and on the playground, is naturally an important area for schools, both indoors and outdoors. From what I can tell, some of you have amazing gymnasiums and stadiums—you'll, of course, want to keep them stocked with high-quality and up-to-date equipment.

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,
