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!
Hello Sophie - Nice to meet you. When I was young (many years ago), I travelled to Vancouver: One week on the ship from Liverpool and three days and nights on the CPR railway. I was engaged to be married in Vancouver. We have been married 43 years now. I lived at 97 West 26th Avenue near to the Queen Elizabeth Park. I say all this because I see you are from Vancouver. I have been living in Ilkley in the Yorkshire Dales for 24 years now. If you Google JOSIE'S POEMS you will see what I've taken up doing in my "reitrement". ha ha. Best wishes Josie
