1. I have to steal @Kshakal answer, Scholastic Book Fairs. Gosh, the thrill!
2. Playing in the band, being the drum major 🤓 🪈

Bonus - seeing friends. I‘m looking sort of forward to a gathering tomorrow to celebrate 36 years? We could not do math.
Tagging all the school kids!

I LOVED school- High School, College and Grad school! (I was a huge nerd )
I loved so much about High School-
1. I was able to attend Close Up 3 times - a program in DC to actively learn about govt,
2. I participated in The National Conf of Christian and Jews- it was life changing.
3. I was very active in Student Govt and Track by Sr year Captain of my team and President of my class.
My HS had 6000 students.
pickCute little video with someone reading the book. So we read it together. #ISpyBingoJune. @TheAromaofBooks
These ones were from the Chin Chen Street Little free Library from a while back for my nieces and nephews.
Born in the wrong decade —
awkward, out of place — ready
to travel through time.
Been feeling this way since high school. Where‘s my time machine? 🤔

panTake what you need from this book and discard the rest. It's dense, not easy to read, and contradicts itself all over the place. The author also has internalized misogyny which shows up a lot.
It's mostly well researched and informative, though nothing groundbreaking. The sections on gender and identity were poorly done, insultingly so.

That just turned my stomach
pickPatrick Morris has very strict parents who‘ve gotten even more strict lately. His parents forbid him to join the school band, so he practices the saxophone at Casa Wakefield in his free time. He makes the band but his parents still refuse to let him play. He decides to run away, & Winston & the twins help. Eventually he goes home & learns his dad lost his job, which is why they didn‘t want him joining the band. But all‘s well that ends well in SV.
pickI enjoyed it so much! It was a perfect way to start the year and provided a real eye-opener into the lives of people in Jamaica.
The book does an amazing job describing Jamaican life, food, scenery, and settings. And the food! It had me salivating, I could almost taste it all!
