If you're in Maine, consider coming to this free event this Thursday. A movie screening and discussion regarding homelessness in Maine. I'll be on the panel discussing what we are doing here in Waterville.

I have mixed feelings. I signed up for this because one of the prizes is a school visit by Bill Nye. I didn't realize it's a fundraiser for Teach for America, about which I also have mixed feelings.
Anyway, if you're inclined you can vote for free once per day.

Is Kristin Sims America's Favorite Teacher?
I love teaching because after 30 years in the classroom, I still learn something every day. It's fun, engaging, exhausting and exhilarating.

This is how you say

Congress has already appropriated money for education.
Thankfully, for students, teachers, and schools, that money is *NOT* subject to the whims of someone offended by the facts of history.
