Attention All Southern Californians

If you are in the San Diego area this Thursday, you'll have a unique opportunity:

Joanne Jacobs will be reading and signing copies of her book, Our School 5:30 pm at San Diego's High Tech High School. (website here) The school is located at 2861 Womble Rd., San Diego.

As an added bonus, the school's biotech students will also be in attendance selling their field guide, Perspectives on San Diego Bay, which just won a national award for environmental excellence.

High Tech High School, which was recently profiled by The Oprah, is a public charter school.

There's a good chance that I may be able to drive over from the "Imperial" Valley in order request that my copy of Our School be autographed by the author. Here's my photo; consider saying "hi." ------------------------------Contributions for this week's edition of The Carnival Of Education are due tonight.
