WE WON!

As you know from previous blog posts, July marks the 50th anniversary of To Kill A Mockingbird. I entered the contest to win an audio book from Recorded Books K-12 and I just got the email that The Wheatley School WON! As many of you know, I am a HUGE audio book fan, listen to about one a week. I have listened to To Kill A Mockingbird, narrated by Sissy Spacek and it is FANTASTIC. She is such an accomplished actress and she brings a level of warmth and charm to this classic book, which I hope you will enjoy as much I did. Email me and let me know if you want to check out this audio book.
