JenTekk launches the Kids SRC ’09 Website

Friday, June 12th, 2009

JenTekk is pleased to announce the launch of the Kids Summer Reading Club (SRC) 2009 website today!

I am honored to have been invited yet again (my fourth year) to assist with the Kids SRC program.

Kids Summer Reading Club (SRC) 2009

The Kids SRC is designed to get children reading, with the use of a fun theme, posters, stickers, a reading record, bookmarks, completion medals, and novelty items. In addition each year they have a new designed website: Kids SRC 2009 which offers 7 quizzes (1 for each week of the program) word puzzles, and fun games.

Interestingly enough, some of the kids that participate in the Kids SRC are children of my own friends! That certainly makes it pretty exciting.

As I’d mentioned, this the the fourth year in assisting with the program. You may view the 3 previous website designs by JenTekk below…

Joomla Day Vancouver - official website

Joomla! CMS is one of the most powerful Open Source content management systems (CMS) on the planet. Joomla! is easy to manage, reliable to use, and is very popular with those of my clients using it.

The newest version of Joomla (version 1.5) is an ideal platform for building Corporate websites, Intranets and Social Networks.
