Our Coffeehouse was a HUGE success! Many thanks to everyone who was able to attend. I know that the children loved having you here!
I was able to capture most of each Haiku Holler. If you have videos or pictures that you would like to share, we would love to see them and even post them on the blog.
Thank you to those BRAVE parents who were willing to stand up at the Open Mike and share a favorite poem. I know that some of you weren't able to hear my entire poem through my tears, so I wanted to share it with you here.
