Dr. Sandler's presentation on Thursday

Ladies! Tomorrow morning, right after Community Meeting, we will hold a very brief rehearsal of our Bunny Sandler presentation...practice having the fourteen "firsts" readers speak loudly, clearly, succinctly and with good energy...that kind of thing! Oh...and just so you know, tomorrow will also be the first event at which you, as 8th graders, will sit on chairs at the back of the room (versus languish on the hard linoleum as in years past!) Needless to say, this is one of those instances where "with great privilege comes great responsibility." You will be responsible for getting your chair, occupying it quietly and with notable respect for both the speaker and the rest of the audience, returning the chair...that kind of thing. I know that Dr. Sandler will be most impressed with your knowledge of her personal and professional background, as well as your general warm enthusiasm for her visit. I was very impressed with your ability to answer the questions I'd given you to research less than twenty-four hours earlier. You guys rock!
