It's all about the children and their families this holiday season at ETA hand2mind

ETA hand2mind team members fulfilled the wish lists for several families needing a little extra cheer this holiday.  From toys to housewares, coats to bedding, not an item was missed as the elves at ETA hand2mind joined in the spirit of giving.  Donations were carefully wrapped, labeled, and deposited at our front desk before being packed into cars for the ride to a local school.  Teachers then set them aside for delivery to our adopted families - we wish them and all a very happy holidays!

Holiday Celebrations at Educational Insights

Fun times and holiday cheer in Gardena, California when the Educational Insights team and a few representatives from our Learning Resources team got together to kick off the season of celebration.  Festivities were held at the Monkish Brewing Company with pizza provided by Chef Joseph Boness of Vella Pizza - yum!  2014 has been a great year for both teams with lots of growth and new employees joining the ranks - they certainly have good reason to raise their glasses in a toast to current and future success!    

Ugly Sweaters? Must be Friday Fun day at ETA hand2mind!

Members of our ETA hand2mind team took a break from their busy year-end to don their fun (and over-the-top) holiday sweaters and hang out with the Purchasing team.  Lots of food and good cheer as well as make-your-own cutout snowflakes.  Good times!
