Chapter Sharing Session, February 9, 2008
Thank you to everyone who attended our chapter sharing session this past Saturday at Mountain View Elementary in Morgantown, WV. We had a nice turnout. Thank you to all the presenters, you all did a wonderful job. And thank you to those who brought in lessons to share. It's always good to have fresh lessons to use.
Sorry, I forgot my camera, so I have no pictures to share, but I will remember for next time! Look forward to seeing everyone again in April!
