Notes:

I had the pleasure of reading everyone's first piece of writing for the year. Everyone clearly worked hard to craft great pieces that reflect their personalities and priorities as writers. Of course there are things to work on: editing, spelling, punctuation, but there's a lot to celebrate: humor, sadness, fun. Thanks for your writing!!

Joke:
Q: Why did the three pigs run away from home?
