Notes

• I'm not sure why I thought it was a good idea to do two conferences in quick succession, along with our annual big collaborative event and the art show... it seemed like a good idea at the time? Anyways, I'm done with CE for the year now (except two local things).
• We had about 200 people come through for the art show Monday night and then on Tuesday all the 4K directors came in for set-up for the big train party. I'm desperately trying to finish another chunk of weeding before I'm gone-ish next week.
• Feeling a little overwhelmed when I think about what still needs to be done:
• update field trips (still waiting for some teachers to schedule their classes)
• update summer reading materials and send to the school to print
• update and add to activities we give away for summer reading prizes
• summer newsletter
• finish staff schedule - I'm waiting to see if I need to hire another teen to fill in the schedule
• plan sewing maker workshops coming up
• update STEM calendar for the summer
• waiting on grant money to order LOTG books for summer, including Spanish, and some big chunks of juvenile fiction and graphic novels
• write-up and publicity for Walmart grant - I think we will finally start open storyroom in May
• plan summer programs, including new maker workshops and art programs
• recruit and schedule teen volunteers
