IDEAS FOR CLASSES LET US KNOW!
Check out the visiting author: David Lubar, he’ll be visiting UPE and PPLD. Come meet him at our school gym on June 30th from 10:00-11:00 am!!!!! What a great opportunity for us and David Lubar will be talking, signing books and answering questions.
Well David Lubar is as funny in person as he is in his books! What a fun time and he signed books for the people that were at the school too…Mr. Lubar’s advice to anyone who wants to write was: play with a good title, find a hook to start a story, or even start at the end and work backwards.
The school year is drawing to an end. Now is the time to say Thank you to all of you who have signed up for classes, taught classes, drove our kids to and from classes, or even found people to teach classes this year!
Thank you, 谢谢你, धन्यवाद, thank you, Ačiū, Хвала ти, thank, you, ขอบคุณ, merci, danke, bedankt, grazie, thank you, bien, tack, grazzi, gracias, Thank You!
