What Was That Mess of a Newsletter Last Week?
Last week, some of you may have received this week's newsletter in progress. I continually collect potential stories and links at the bottom of a draft newsletter, and then edit that part out before I send the final edition. I was out of town without access to reliable wifi and a computer last week, and accidentally sent the draft! If you would like to see what the Monday Minute was supposed to look like last week, you can access it here.
Please send Susie Highley any ideas or suggestions of things to be included. We would love to feature more school activities! We are now sending the Monday Minute to members only, but we invite you to forward it to anyone who might be interested. You can also access it via this link on our webpage, and you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
