Hello friends!

 

It's been an exciting month for all of us here at Hameray.
The beginning of the month saw us traveling to Orlando, FL for the International Reading Association Convention. We met so many great teachers and administrators at the conference, and were able to meet up with some old friends which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you were there, I hope you had just as great a time! I also hope you stopped by to visit us! 

 

Hameray's May also saw the release of many new books and collections to our product line. Some of the new titles released are: 


  • Coleccion Joy Cowley - Mrs. Wishy-Washy, the Meanies, Hungry Giant and more Joy Cowley stories, available in Spanish.

  • Hameray Biography Series - 10 new titles released in the series, including Harry Houdini, Ronald Reagan, Jacques Cousteau, and more.

We're also very excited to announce that Hameray is donating two $15,000 scholarships for Teacher Leader Training, through the Reading Recovery Council of North America. Click here for more details on applying for this scholarship. Please note, applications must be postmarked by May 31st.

Thank you for choosing Hameray Publishing when selecting your literacy materials. We truly appreciate your support, and look forward to serving your needs in the future. If you have any questions, suggestions, or ideas, please do not hesitate to send me an email. I'd love to hear from you!

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend, and please remember to keep those who have fought for our country in your thoughts this weekend.

Sincerely, 

Bill
