Happy Summer! I hope your summer has gotten off to a great start and you had a wonderful 4th of July holiday. I trust you've been enjoying a bit of vacation as well. There's no summer vacation for Hameray though! Here are a few things we've been up to: $15,000 Hameray Scholarship Winners Announced Some exciting news to report, the winners of Hameray Publishing's $15,000 Teacher Leader Scholarships. We're very proud to announce that Catherine Champon from Lewisville, TX and Jeff Williams from Solon, OH are the recipients of these scholarships! They will be training to become official Reading Recovery Teacher Leaders at Texas Women's University and Ohio State University, respectively. Along with this Scholarship, each person also includes an additional $1,000 to purchase books and other materials to assist in their training. Congratulations to Catherine and Jeff for being chosen for this prestigious honor! Joy Cowley Narration Videos As a special promotion, Hameray is releasing 5 videos of Joy Cowley narrating stories from the Green Set. Each week, a different video will be posted. Now you can listen and read along with Joy! You can watch "Mrs. Wishy-Washy and the Big Wash" in the next section below! Joy Cowley Introductory Pack Hameray's Monthly Special for July is a Joy Cowley Introductory Pack! This is a great way to start your very own Joy Cowley Collection. Package includes 15 books, an audio CD, Joy's autobiography, and a set of Finger Puppets. See the sidebar to the right for more details! Joy Cowley Visits San Diego! Joy will be in San Diego visiting the Hameray office from July 27-31, to record narration for the Red and Orange Sets of the Joy Cowley Collection. These will join the Green Set, which she recorded in February. We're looking forward to hosting Joy, and getting the real Mrs. Wishy-Washy some California sun! Hope your summer is warm, bright, and fulfilling! But remember to take a break from the heat. Curl up in your air-conditioned house and pick up a book!
Sincerely, Bill Bill Mortimer Hameray Publishing Group bill.mortimer@hameraypublishing.com _________________________________________________________ |
