Mrs. Willette, Mr. Holtz, and Mrs.
Michelle Y. Green visit with the Brooks Book Club.
Mrs. Willette and Mr. Holtz co-wrote a grant application
in April of 2005 that provided our school with our first
author's visit. This year, Mr. Holtz and Mrs. Willette's combined efforts have provided us with 2
different grants. |
