"Write while the heat is in you. The writer who postpones the recording of his thoughts uses an iron which has cooled to burn a hole with. He cannot inflame the minds of his audience."“
Henry and I are excited about sauntering the 2022-2023 school year with each of you. It will be a year filled with great writing! I am looking forward to working with each of you and reading your wonderful writing. This will be a special and exciting year!
