Yay! NEA Grant Winner

Hey folks! Looks like we took a brief blog-cation. I've got a heap of mail to share and and multiple announcements and what not. But, I'll save that for tomorrow. Today, I'd just like to share that I'm fairly confident I was awarded a $500 NEA grant, titled "Drop Everything and Read Bookshelf Awards." I haven't been notified, or anything, but I found this recent announcement online.

Good times. Here's the blurb:

In celebration of National Drop Everything And Read (D.E.A.R.) Day, the NEA Foundation and the National Education Association (NEA) offer the D.E.A.R. Bookshelf Awards. These awards are made possible in part with support from HarperCollins Children's Books as part of the NEA's commitment to promote children's literacy and motivate readers of all ages. This program awards $500 to public schools for the purchase of books and reading materials that will entice students to drop everything and read!
