Visited Library of Congress. Notes: Did have fun; it was not hard. Got a library card prior to fun, however, so YMMV. Had a chance to go to the reading room & a reference library (courtesy aforementioned card) & now I need to make up something to research so I can go back. 😂

Also: Smithsonian’s NMAAHC -Yes, everyone is correct: you need longer than you think. I didn’t see everything because there was so much to see. But it was so, so, so good.

One time for the one time: I turned the corner into this Bisa Butler quilt piece (which I didn’t know was there) and had to go take a time out. As many times as I’ve seen the picture, I was awed in person.

Nasty work. Unnecessary.

Hey, just wanted to tell you our counselors are the best. They came by to thank me but I’m appreciative of the work they are doing with our students everyday. And snacks. I had to close the box back to take this. 😂KMS Counselors-Cougar Pride Kingwood Middle #KMSCougarPride

The GT Expo provides an opportunity for our Gifted and Talented students to display their work, whether it's an academic project, artistic creation, or innovative idea. Ms. Hicks meets with our GT students periodically to help them develop their projects. #KMSCougarPride🐾

Now, I tell y’all EVERY year I’m spoiled. 🤷🏾‍♀️ And as the great American poet Bernard Freeman once said, that is “the truth and not a fable.” Thank you to KMS, our PTA and Chuy’s Humble for celebrating me on National School Librarians Day. I appreciate it always.

Guess what I’m learning more about? It’s my favorite library resource: TexQuest, specifically resources to support CCMR. #TXLA24

In the words of the great Southern poet, Clifford J. Harris, Jr. “Big things popping…” Big thanks to HumbleISD Foundation and Linde for funding my grant for the Kingwood Middle School Library.
