Greetings Molly,
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

Good to hear back from you. Yes, I'm still at HOPE . . . happy to have the job, but would prefer a public or parochial high school. I have no real reason to complain though; I'm pretty much left alone by the administration and, thankfully, no lesson plans to submit. I have a modified flex schedule this year, which is very nice, but risky (because I'm no longer part of the specialist rotation, I'm likely to be the first to go if there are any staff cuts). I'm also teaching a life skills sewing class on a variance. How is it going for you? Is this your first year at your school? This is my 3rd year, and I'm wondering when that "overwhelmed" feeling goes away. Happy holidays, Marie
I was in some of your classes at St. Kate's and visited with you and Sarah when you worked with her at Community of Peace. Where are you working now? I hope you're doing well. Welcome to the ning . . . I joined just a few ago. Marie Chouinard
