My name is Madison Lopez and I am the Zebra Stripes Director for Claremont. I have been in education for 6 years and all of those have been with CPS. I attended RSU, and received a Bachelors degree in Biology.
I live at home with my parents, sister, and two rescue dogs. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and listening to music, and am always looking for fun and creative activities for Zebra Stripes.
My favorite quote is "Only you can control your future," by Dr. Seuss.

#CPSTechTipTuesday will demonstrate how to convert an Adobe PDF document to an editable Microsoft Word document.
PDF documents are great for sending files to individuals and keeping the formatting consistent. However, a downfall is that you cannot edit the file. Using Microsoft Word, you can open a PDF document and edit it as needed.
