Barbara Bush

I hope everyone enjoyed the Barbara Bush video conference as much as I did. I am so proud of Jordan. She did a great job asking the question chosen from our school.

I really admire Mrs. Bush and think that she is doing wonderful things to help others. I liked how she stressed the importance of being able to read. Also, I like how she points out that parents are the first teachers of their children.

I thought her puppy dog was adorable. It sure was patient and very well behaved.

Let me hear from you on what you thought. Also, what else would you like to know after hearing from Barbara Bush?

Barbara Bush Video Conference

I am so excited about the upcoming video conference with Barbara Bush tomorrow. It is quite an honor to be able to have one of our students ask Mrs. Bush a question during the conference. I am thrilled that this video conference will be recorded and placed in the George Bush Library for future generations to see. I also can't believe we will all get a free book sent to us after it is over. History.... and we will be a part of it!
