This morning, like I do every morning when I first get up, I checked my email. While checking, I found that Stacey at
Two Writing Teachers had posted the winners of the prizes for the Fifth Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge. I anxiously clicked on the link to read more. I enjoyed reading through how she chose the winners and then read through how to claim your prize. As I scrolled down, I was surprised and excited to see my name as the winner of the registration to the
Seventh Annual All Write!!! Summer institute. I attended the conference last year and my district was unable to send me this year. I had considered paying the fee myself because the conference is, "that good", but had decided against it. The prize for the Slice 2012 truly was in writing and what I learned every day about myself as a writer, but this prize is the cherry on top. Thank you again Ruth and Stacey for organizing! Can't wait for next year!
Congratulations!! It was meant to be. I look forward to you sharing information you learn at the conference. What a happy day!

Thank you! It is a WONDERful conference. Maybe we should organize a Slice 2012 "Tweet up" (I think that's what it's called???). Looking forward to maybe meeting you!
DeleteCongratulations. Such fun news.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your support!
DeleteIt looks so fun! I wanted to go last year, but we were still in school. I was excited that this year we would be out of school, but my son is getting married that week, so maybe next year. Do share your learnings here for all of us!
ReplyDeleteThank you! If you get the chance next year, you really should try to go. It is an excellent pd experience.
DeleteI was so excited to see your name too! When I was reading through yesterday morning I squealed out "Barbara!!", luckily not waking anyone! I hope you have a fabulous time (and if I am able to get myself there, I will be looking for you)!
ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy! We really need to try and meet. I would like to thank you for your support in person!
