MIT university is trying to build a free resource to help kids learn SAT/ACT thru the power of user-generated images and video. We are currently running a nationwide contest, challenging kids to make fun and memorable flashcards by pairing sentences and images to a common test word. There will be a small cash prize and iTunes giveaways. Due date is May 22.
I miss Hilo a lot. Especially in the middle of winter here in Utah. My dad and my brother still live in Hilo--my dad in Kurtistown and my brother above Komahana Drive.
Hi Cathy,
Remember me from NWP visits to the Big Island? It's great to see you -- what a gorgeous picture.
I'm sure you know that there is a proposal for a full-fledged WP for the Big Island from UH-Hilo. Also, Shel just had a big retirement (from director) celebration. Have you met Rhonda, the new director? She'll be at the NWP Annual Meeting and NCTE. If you haven't met her, I'd love you two to meet. Pass the word to anyone from the islands.

Hi Cathy,
I'm from the islands, too. Some of my friends and cousins graduated from Kamehameha Schools. I wanna be your friend. Go take a look at my pics. There are pictures of me and Aunty Nona Beamer. I miss her so much. Yvonne
