    Good evening Tara,
    I absolutely love what you do. It is so well thought out and systematized into a doable thing for us over worked, short on time teachers.

    I am interested in the snowball line up piece. Is it possible to get that particular literacy center alone?
    I would love that. Let me know. Thank you for all that you do. It is appreciated by us!!!!!
