**RONDA'S CORNER**
 * FEBRUARY 28, 2012**

I hope everyone who was lucky enough to have last week off enjoyed their time off. I have a couple titles just "itching" to get off the shelf and visit a classroom (//fleas?//). We have 45 copies of //**Love That Dog**// and 25 copies of //**Hate That Cat**//. Both were purchased with the CCD money last year, so that means somebody out there suggested these titles. I want to remind everyone about the **Book Repair and Preservation** workshop coming up March 27th. If you have signed up, please drop me a quick email to let me know. Morning refreshments and lunch will be included that day.

**MARY ANN'S MEANDERINGS** For those of you who missed the Common Core Workshop - please check the navigation on the left had side of the wiki. There is an enormous amount of usable information that will help you be recognized as a vital force in the school community.
