Reading, Writing, & Rhyming

I've been yelled at by several people close to me for not mentioning this, but I didn't want to come off as "patting myself on the back." I am really proud of it, and humbled by it, so I guess it's time. Please excuse me for bragging….

These kids love their teachers in Watervliet, and I really loved this group in return.   It was a total lovefest, I guess.  Here's their song (and they did a video to boot!)

To quote a famous politician: "It takes a village to run a school." (Ok, I added the "school" part). Well there's a lady at Jefferson Elementary School in the Schalmont system who helps keep a certain little village running smoothly every day, and was honored the other night.

A great time was had by all at A. W. Becker school in Selkirk.   Special thanks to Mrs. Planck for letting me in at the last minute, and for Producer Dave for arranging this (in fact, he went along for the ride.

There is something about this photograph that may be like no other that you've ever seen.  Can you pick it out?  (You won't believe the answer!!!)

Okay, Schenectady – what would you like to hear first? The good news or the bad news?  Bad news?  OK.. here we go....

School pride- that's what we can't get enough of around this area, and it's in abundance at Deleware Community School in Delmar.

The kids from Pinewood Elementary School had one thing on their mind – Phys Ed class. I think I can understand why. They had just finished taking very grueling ELA tests.  Time to give them a break and have a little fun, so we wrote a song together

What a class!  What a teacher! What a school!  (Sorry folks, but I just couldn't get over this class of 4th graders from Cambridge Elementary.  These are some hard working kids!)

Spreading patriotism throughout the Capital Region - that's what we do here at Townsquare Media in association with the Reading, Writing and Rhyming Tour.  Proud to be involved.  This time it's the kids from Gardiner Dickenson School in Wynantskill

Awesome!  Fantastic! I was bummed when I had to leave!  What a fun, creative bunch of students at the Heatly School In Green Island, and they have a great message for anyone who finds themselves in a possible altercation with another.   In fact, they made a YouTube video!

The heroes of the St Jude Radiothon this year?  I'll tell you right now.  It was this group of kids who helped us out by reading these very touching "ABC's Of Cancer" essays.
