Wow! September was amazing, I hope that you were able to attend some of the many events that Austin is blessed with. Wrapping up was a Sunday, September 30th event with writer Diane Ravitch, HERE at Eastside Memorial at the Johnston Campus. Diane is a powerful speaker and advocate for kids and public education. And we had great audience participation for the hour of Q&A that followed her talk. There were at least 350 people in our Gym! Yay!
It happened quite suddenly. :-) A friend of mine called me on a Friday afternoon. She is also friends with Diane. She learned that D would be in Austin for the last weekend in September and was willing to donate a few hours to our local groups. Yay! But that meant barely 3 weeks to pull it off! Many thanks to AISD for waiving facility fees for this. (We had NO time for fundraising.) And for generally being so very helpful. And I cannot possibly say "Thank You" enough for the army of Volunteers that made the event possible. Special Shout-Out Thank You's to EM folks Bryan, Marty & Juan! And I can't forget to Thank Diane herself for being so generous with her time and her knowledge. I learned a lot.

Can You Help?
Austin Partners in Education is running low on volunteers for this school year. They say that the kids need another 200-300 folks to sign-up to mentor them. This is not as scary as you might think. You do not need to be an expert to mentor/tutor. You only need to be there an hour a week for a student. To listen to them; to encourage them. Call APIE at
512-637-0900, or go to
austinpartners.org for more info. (In the list of schools, we have two entries: EMHS and the International HS.) Martin MS has several positions open. !!! HEY EAGLES !!!
========================================================
The name "PantherPaws512" was chosen because we
Panthers are Paws/feet on the ground and Paws/hands ready to help our school. :-)
