I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight.
If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Hi April,
I'm a teacher librarian & recently started a community based blog for getting boys to read - http://GettingBoysToRead.com. Please send me a friend request if you'd like to network, share ideas, and learn more about getting boys to read.
Hey, April -- fancy meeting you here. Looks like a few other classmates are here too. Have you finished this week's blog post -- I haven't yet! Delete Comment
Hi April,
I noticed your name on the Ning! I thought I'd join and say "Hi"! How's that social networking blog post coming along? I'm getting pretty lazy with my posts lately and I'm taking FULL advantage of Joanne's extension this week but I thought I'd check out this Ning. I wasn't planning on joining but alas here I am with another user name and password to remember. Take care and good luck with your post this week! Enjoy the break!
