Please join us for a social gathering to kick off the 2012 – 2013 school year on Tuesday, September 18th from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. at the Shamrock Park Pavilion in Shoreview .  We would like to encourage all continuing and new members to attend this event and bring a colleague or friend who has an interest in literacy issues that involve secondary students.   Our hope is that, as we spend a few late afternoon hours together, we can begin a conversation about the topics we would like to explore as a group in the coming year.  We would like to get to know you so that we can make our future meetings productive and aligned to your needs and concerns.
