MiniLegends mentoring program

I was excited to read about the minilegends mentoring program by Al Upton from Australia. I got to the program a little late, but have asked to do added impute for Taylah, who is a natural blogger. I'm looking forward to getting to know Taylah and also more about Australia.

Today I need to write to the Members of the Washington State Senate Ways and Means Committee (21 members) and the Members of the House Appropriations Committee (33 members) in support of full funding for House Bill 2773, which would ensure that all Washington students have full-time access to school libraries and a certified teacher librarian to provide a competitive education in information technology and literacy. The funding provided would result in immediate help for the students at our schools. The bill would also support much needed school councilors.

Happy Holidays to everyone. I'm please that I received Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 and Premiere Elements 4 for Christmas. I'm sure I can spend lots of time figuring them out :)
