Hey...thanks for the heads up.....by the way did this say 5:17am???

Hi Melissa, my name is Leon Avrech, retired middle school teacher, vice principal, principal, mentor teacher 8th grade U.S. History. Part time beach bum too at nearby
Santa Cruz and Capitola Beach. I am writing you to let you know that I recently had a book published to help new teachers and those planning to teach, THINK YOU CAN TEACH? A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS. I have a passion for middle school and have seen teachers fail and quit. I have written the book to help teachers succeed. It is available from xlibris.com amazon.com barnesandnoble.com or any bookstore can find it on the computer from Ingram. I hope
you will pass this on to those who may need it. It is an enormous help to teachers from the first day of orientation to the end of year evaluation. Thank you and don't get too much sun, it is cumlative on your skin. Leon Avrech look for it by title or my last name. Thanks again, my email is legendleon@att.net
