| Effective 10/07/08: Every Tuesday of the week a teacher will be spotlighted on this site. Rules: that teacher and the student that nominates this person must both be subscribers to the Shimmy Chronicles. The teacher must be nominated by a current or past student. The spotlight may include: picture; physical/website/email address; contact phone number and a brief bio - 200 words or less. Concentrate this bio on the unique abilities of this teacher. Post your name, contact info and nomination to the blog. I will contact you a week prior to the spotlight for the spotlight info - send it by separate cover to the email address: khughes@qwestoffice.net. There are only 52 weeks of the year and more than a few teachers out there, so please be patient. It will be first come, first serve. And we will start with my teacher, of course. |
