We were glad to be able to help Ashtyn explore different directions! And we love that our partnership with Xello and the NH Department of Education allows us to do that throughout schools in NH, at no cost to the schools or students! With more than 10,000 Xello accounts set-up last year to help students find their direction, we’re excited to see what the future holds for everyone!
