Montgomery Lower (and Upper)

June 9th, 2008

I don’t know if it’s a New Jersey things, but they name their schools there in such a logical and systematic way.  Like Crossroads North and South.  Or Montgomery Lower and Upper.  It just makes sense.  On Friday of this past week, I found myself with in front of Montgomery Lower Middle School.  Mrs. Strawn was spirited and so enthusiastic, it was hard not to be the same way.  Also, I have to say that both Montgomery Lower and Upper are on Burnt Hill Road, which is a pretty cool street name.  In my humble opinion.  

Huge thanks to Ms. Coates for inviting me into her classroom.  She was so, so nice and I got such wonderful questions from her 7th graders.  

Also, I should give a special thank you to everyone who has emailed me and said nice things about the book and those who have emailed me just to say “hi” or to ask a question.  I really need to start asking the fantastic librarians/media specialists that I meet for permission to post the pictures I take with them so I can stop the monotony of me posing in parking lots by myself.
