My First Article

Spring Branch Elementary, Houston, Texas 1983. I was a fifth grader in Mr. Steve Bennett's music class, when he announced that he would start a school newspaper and was looking for reporters. I quickly signed up and was soon added to the roster as a reporter for the "Cub Chronicle".
By spring semester I was promoted to Assistant Editor and learned a great deal about newspaper layout, and editing articles for content, grammar and structure. Funny how your past is a foreshadowing of your future.
One day, I hope to find Mr. Steve Bennett and thank him for seeing and nurturing the gift of writing in me, but for also igniting the flame that still burns to do the same for the students I encounter.
I will forever cherish my pink, spiral bound collection of our school newspaper, for years to come!

Feast Time

This year second grade is having a Thanksgiving celebration. It will be in the cafeteria at nine o'clock on Tuesday.
The goodies are, popcorn, peanuts, and each child will bring one apple. All second grade teachers are in charge.
Three rooms will be Indians and two rooms will be Pilgrims. Happy feasting all you second graders!
