Hello!

In case anyone was interested!  I am a member of CRA and I am hoping to have some collaborative events between CRA and CASL in the future:)  They offer a grant each year that is open to both teachers and librarians!  I won one this year and am using the funds to organize a Literacy Night at my middle school at the end of May!!
