Dear All,
Happy Friday! You made it!
We've got so many great events for you and for your students coming up (see below). Thanks to Britnee and Briana on my team for arranging these opportunities. Hope to see you there.
The Eurovision Song Contest
began on May 9. Long-time readers know of my deep deep love of this
silly and wonderful affair. If you aren't familiar, I highly commend it to
your attention.
Thanks for everything,
Carmen
