  • Greetings Allison,

    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!

    Sincerely,

    Mike McQueen

    Teacher Librarian at McLain HS

  • Hi, Allison! Readatouille was our Fall 2008 Scholastic book fair theme. We actually won Scholastic's National Student Crew Contest for the second time with it. You can read more about it on their webpage http://www.scholastic.com/bookfairs/contest/middle_fall_08.asp or see a Vuvox I just created to share ideas with the media specialists in our county at http://www.vuvox.com/collage/detail/01774eb849. Ask any questions and feel free to take our ideas and run with them!
