Some talented work decorated the library, and I hear that they will soon come up with stories do go with those drawings! Great job: Alicia, Chloe, Davion, Dillon, Eduardo, Isabelle, Jennifer, Kelsy, Kiran, Raven, and Ximena!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nacisd-bqjes.ss5.sharpschool.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DSCN0863.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"326\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DSCN0863.jpg 500w, https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DSCN0863-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nBefore I performed my last show in the library, I was interviewed on-camera by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easttexasmatters.com\" target=\"_blank\">KETK<\/a>. It&#8217;s a good thing the interview snuck up on me so I didn&#8217;t have a chance to be anxious. Oddly enough, I can make pig oinks (with the face to match) in front of hundreds of students but interviews make me nervous.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nacisd-bqjes.ss5.sharpschool.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DSCN0868.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"237\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DSCN0868.jpg 500w, https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DSCN0868-300x142.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThanks to Mrs. Sanders for having me out. Thanks to Coach Jones for the technical support (and The Time reference). Thanks to Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Courtney for all the help (good luck with the guitar, Stephanie). And a big thanks to all the young readers and writers at BQJ! I hope someday to read some of those books, stories, and comic books I heard so much about!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nacisd-bqjes.ss5.sharpschool.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DSCN0857.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"279\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DSCN0857.jpg 500w, https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DSCN0857-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Today I enjoyed a great time at Brooks-Quinn-Jones Elementary (AKA BQJ)!
