well, in case you missed the announcement last thursday, last friday was our first potluck. yeah, we probably should have reminded you more maybe, but it has been plastered on our homepage for about a month now, so i don't feel too badly about it. but we did miss those of you who couldn't make it. a lot! 

here's a quick recap of what went down: we introduced ourselves, watched a video of sarita reading from the dead & the gone, read an email i got from sue pfeffer (the author of the book!), passed out autographed stickers that ms. pfeffer mailed us (she's so nice!), shared what we loved about the book (it made darlene cry!), recorded (like 3 times!) a video thank you card for ms. pferrer, and we talked about what to read next.  click here to see pics of the potluck! 

so, yeah, we did a lot, and we did it all while stuffing our faces w/ slice after slice of delicious dominoes pizza (whom we profusely and graciously thank for their very generous educator's discount)! =)

we do not have a next meeting scheduled yet because a lot of you still haven't turned in your books yet. we can't buy new books until we have the old ones back to trade in. so turn them in. like asap. please. thank you! =)
