[Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev] Response from school staff regarding progress tracking

[Sarah Frisk]

Matt (and everyone)

I might be able to help with the design part.  The following link is a  
design mockup of my own website that I'm working on (please note that  
the right hand column is unfinished).  If you would rather get someone  
else, I have some web design contacts that I could get ahold of if you  
would like.
