ACSU Literacy Team Annual Meeting
Barry Lane presents…Writing Instruction with Purpose and Passion!

Thursday, April 1, 3:30-6:00pm

Mary Hogan Elementary School

PURPOSE: Like our invitation to Sue Biggam last year, Barry has been invited to our annual meeting to share from his area of expertise: Writing instruction.  While there will be a focus on writing on demand, Barry is bound to wade into other topics…and probably will bring his guitar along to add a little “teacher cafe” atmosphere to our time together.  It will be a packed 2 1/2 hours to stretch, nourish and amuse that amazing thing we call “the teacher brain!”

This is no April Fool’s Joke!  We hope you can attend this invigorating special event.  New learning in a congenial atmosphere and “good eats”are guaranteed.  Looking forward to seeing you.

Please RSVP via your Literacy Team representatives:  Lisa Beck, Leigh Harder, Laura King, Donna MacKenzie, Deb DeVaney, Bethany Morrissey, Krista Desabrais, Charlotte Holmquist, and Gwen Zwickel.  Thank you.
