Article mentions next week's episode, so look for this soon!!

Wow, what a pretty picture…

Is this from this week's TV guide?

Kids Need to read just donated books to a local Elementary School in my town.  It would be cool to grab a copy of this & show the teacher there.  The ever heard of Nathan Fillion so this will be fun to show them!

I'll have to look for it at work tomorrow.

Thanks & I will look for the Seasame Street cover.

Yes, Nathan is "yummy" "sexy" "  and " your pick of adjective"

But seriously,  I want to give some praise here for KNTR.    My local elementary school which KNTR just donated to is 95% hispanic and 80% on the free lunch program.   There is no money……and I mean NO money for new books & teaching martials.   Our school district like many others around the country failed at the "No Child Left Behind Act" which targets low income & special education so the district has to reserve 10% of its annunal budget.   This were the program is failing because with no funding, there is no help so the school relies heavily on volunteers & donations.   Many childern are in the ESL program and come from families where they can't afford a new book or addiontal tutoring.   This is a challenge because my community has been hit with hard times.  

The new books will be used in the classrooms and to help launch a new literacy program.   They are much appreicated.   Anyone here who has donated to KNTR in the past, I just wanted to say Thank You.  I wish I could bring you all to this school and show you myself how much new books are needed.   I often can't believe this happens in our own country, but believe me it does.   Of course we collect books at a book drive & garage sales, but they are all damaged, old and boring to children.   Childrens book writen in Spanish & English are hard to find.   Thankfully, KNTR donated those as well.

Sorry if I sound preachy, but I just don't feel like there is enough written about KNTR and just really how much they help low income schools.   My school district currentlly has children reading at alarming low levels.  The PTOs here are broke.   This whole subject is a hot button for me (can you tell?)  

So this Holiday season, buy a KNTR calender.  Buy a children's book for a family in need.   Read to a child.   Keep watching Castle!

Thank You!
