Dear Parents and Students,
Thank you all for a wonderful first semester.
We all came to a great last day before vacation, candy canes, presents and good cheers. We like to say at Twin Hills that the Friday before Christmas break is one of the happiest of the year, and it seems this one made it so, again.
Have a terrific time over the holidays.
Spend it relaxing, laughing, hanging with family and friends, seeing a movie, hiking.
Get into a book or two. Find one you can love, or be inspired by, or just learn something new.
Check back here over the next two weeks in case I can get some pictures or videos up.

Looking forward to 2011!

About Me

Sebastopol, CA
After many years as a newspaper reporter and writer, a job that I was lucky enough to love, I got my English teaching credential, hoping to pass on to kids how to find their unique voice and clearly communicate what they think and feel. Public school educated in Philadelphia, college in New York City (Barnard College), transferred to and graduated from UC Berkeley in English and received a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University. Yay, my son, my student in 8th grade, is now a Cal alumni, too, a 2017 graduate with a degree in computer science, now working at Google (You Tube) as a product manager. William Faulkner is one of my favorite writers, as well as Anne Lamott, Langston Hughes and many of the nighttime, satirical comedy shows. On my top bookshelf sit Nobel Prize winning writers Toni Morrison and Orhan Pamuk, along with friends who have won Pulitzer Prizes in journalism, who started writing in junior high or in writing groups in Sonoma County. Go public education in California!
