OUR KEYNOTE IS FROM WHERE???
This year's Tech Summit features keynote speaker
Jaime Casap
, Global Education Evangelist at Google, Inc. (Yes, we said GOOGLE.) Jaime evangelizes the power and potential of the web, technology, and Google tools as enabling and supporting capabilities in pursuit of creating powerful learning models. In eight years at Google, Jaime was part of the original team that launched Google Apps for universities, launched Google Apps into K12, and helped get Chromebooks off the ground and into schools. Today he is responsible for working across all internal teams that impact education, and he works with educational organizations around the world, helping them find ways to improve the quality of education through the use of technology.
And on February 4, 2018 Jaime will set the tone for our entire event as the most incredible, impactful, game-changing SWMSS Tech Summit to date!

ATTENTION FOOD SERVICE MANAGERS
CO-OP FOOD ORDER WINDOW
OPEN NOV. 15 - DEC. 11 !!!
|
For three years this statewide SWMSS program has provided quality food and food service supplies to school districts across Montana (and now Wyoming!) at a substantial cost savings through high volume competitive bid purchasing.
|
|
Our two bidders, Sysco and Food Services of America, worked diligently on their bids to provide Montana school districts with the most competitive pricing available to stretch school lunch budgets as far as possible. We are excited to showcase some new products in the Spring 2019 order, and even more excited to announce that we've streamlined the order process in the Marketplace. Join over 125 districts who already participate and make this the most successful order window to date!
