Having been here last year, I knew I would run into students who had changed schools and had seen my show before (and I did).

I signed several library books and then headed off to the gym to perform two more shows for the Bend Gate Gators! They had great questions, too, and I just know that they&#8217;ll get in some reading during their upcoming spring break to become even greater Gators!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bendgate.henderson.kyschools.us\/#\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCN1396.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"390\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCN1396.jpg 500w, https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DSCN1396-300x234.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThanks to Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Hudson for having me out.
