Ah, and the next break is...

I hope everyone had a smashing spring break.  Mine was uneventful, unless you count getting new tires and seeing the Veronica Mars movie events (which, as happy as I was for both, even I don't think that qualifies as "fun").

The purpose of this post?  Really, just to post our Feb. stats.  I recently discovered Canva.com and boy, is it fun.  Look at the cute poster I made! 

Hmmm, turns out I can't embed or link for free.  I'm going to have to continue to look into that.

But let's talk about books.  I did read over break.  Most notably, Kindness for Weakness.

I wanted to adopt James myself.  His older, terrible and truly weak brother allows James to go to juvenile for a crime that he committed.  A skinny bookworm who's never fought a day in his life, James has difficulty surviving - until he learns how to play the game.  No happy endings here, just realistic ones.

March 21 will be here soon!

This old lady is impressed that Kate Winslet (Mrs. Rocknroll, I did you not) and Ashley Judd are in it as well.  Can't wait!!

tfios

June 6 can't come soon enough:

 Luckily, I only have to wait a few weeks for Veronica and Logan to get together (OK, Rob Thomas, don't disappoint me!)

It's going to be WONDERful...

Save the date!  RJ Palacio will visit with Round Rock ISD students Mon., Feb. 10th - it will be here before you know it!

Details:

RJ Palacio at the Round Rock Sports Complex

Mon., Feb. 10

12:00 pm-1:00 pm

Only 50 students from every school will be selected, that's right, only 50 Mavericks will be there.  To determine who will attend, Mrs. Bligh and I will draw names from those who have participated in Wonder activities.  Don't worry, we know who you are.  

If you want to see Palacio but are not selected, don't despair!  She will also speak in the evening - FREE TO THE PUBLIC.

First come, first served - no reserved seating at this one, so don't be late.

Hmmm, aside from the weirdness of the disembodied head above, doesn't she look lovely?  I can't wait to meet her.

More later, gators - gotta go work.
