Manchester Center, VT- July 7th, 2011- Thanks to the generous support of Espresso Education, Digital Wish has just announced a $600 matching grant on all Espresso Elementary subscriptions purchased by educators through September 30, 2011. Using this limited time grant, educators can get an Espresso Elementary Annual Subscription valued at $1595 for their entire school for just $995.

Espresso Education has been the leading digital curriculum service in the UK for years and has expanded its high quality educational program to America.
