Partyin’ with the Panthers!


 
 

I had a great time visiting Merriman Park Elementary today! And I must say, of all my gigs so far, these students had the most questions about my experience working in Special FX for the film industry. I have a sneaking suspicion that this school may have an abnormally large number of future FX technicians and filmmakers! Look out, Hollywood, here they come!

Movin’ with the Mustangs!


 
 
I just returned from an awesome school visit at the McKinney Christian Academy! You were a great group of kids, very polite, and all had wonderful questions. I was even delighted to have a few more questions emailed to me when I got home!

I hope you enjoy your bookmarks and put them to good use between the pages of some great books! Thanks again, McKinney Christian Academy!

Reeces Creek Elementary is missing a coyote!


 
 
Chicote the dog

Our dog, Chicote was very jealous when he heard I visited Reeces Creek Elementary. Remember, Chicote thinks he is part Chihuahua and part coyote so we named him: Chicote!

Chico just loves kids and would have felt right at home running with the Reeces Creek coyotes! Well, I felt right at home, too, and I want to thank you for a wonderful visit! Keep reading and remember those four special words!

me in t-shirt

Not only did I enjoy a super-fun school visit, I received some very special gifts including this cool Skipcha Elementary T-shirt! I just had to wear it with my matching black hat. And check out those zebra stripes!

Thanks again, Skipcha Elementary! You were a great group of kids and had excellent manners. I hope you had just as much fun as I did.

Thanks for the awesome visit, Decker Elementary! You guys were great and picked up on that giraffe thing right away! You had some wonderful questions, too. And remember what I said, since I couldn’t answer all of your questions, feel free to email me anytime!

I’d also like to give a special good luck to the 4th grade on their TAKS tests. I hope some of my writing tips and tricks fit the bill and give you a leg up. As for everyone else… keep reading and remember the four words!

Hangin’ with the Hippos


 
 
 Nadine Johnson ElementaryI had a fun time visiting Nadine Johnson Elementary and hangin’ with the Hutto Hippos!

You kids were extremely polite, had great questions, and were naturals when it came to making cool giraffe sounds!
 
 
 
I’m also glad you enjoyed the sneak-peek showing of the very first Clown Commandos webisode! Keep checking back here and at ClownCommandos.com for more information and to discover when the clowns are finally unleashed!

Thanks again for having me out! Keep learning and keep filling those brains!

Last Author Visit


 
 
Rahe Bulverde Elementary Presentation

 
I was lucky enough to be the last author to visit Rahe Bulverde Elementary before they move to their new building. What a bunch of great kids! I hope they had as much fun as I did!

Thanks again for having me out, Rahe Bulverde Elementary. And good luck in your new school. Enjoy that new-building smell while it lasts!

Running with the Heather Glen Roadrunners


 
 

 
 
Mohawk the duck

I had a wonderful time with all the students of Heather Glen Elementary! We sang songs, I answered some great questions, and I didn’t even get chased around the duck pond by Mohawk the Duck (something I hear he does to many Heather Glen students).

You know, I think Mohawk would be in a better mood if you were the Heather Glen Ducks instead of the Heather Glen Roadrunners. Maybe he can’t run fast enough to be a roadrunner!

Thanks for having me out, Heather Glen Elementary and keep reading!
