Remember our Fellow Teachers in Kentucky during the severe weather that hit in March.
One of the instructors of the Mountain writing project lives in West Liberty. In contact with Sabrina Back, her and her family were spared during the storm but many people were effected by the vast tornados that hit Kentucky. Please remember all those effected by the storms of 2012.
