Staff Meeting Overview
In addition, if you are new to Read Around the Planet and would like one of us to give a 10-15 minute overview to your teachers, please email 2009 RAP Coordinator Sue Porter. We’ll do our best to schedule some time for you if we can.

New States
We’re getting interest from states that haven’t participated before or have had low participation. For example Nebraska and Florida are new this year. We’re also getting more interest from Wisconsin and Ohio than we’ve had in the past.

So far things are moving along smoothly, thanks to all of you who help make this happen!
