You are invited....

The school/community forum will be webcast, and on my webpage at www.tdsb.on.ca, for a while, should you want to "drop in" at some future time.

Some of you will remember Sholom from his participation at Squeakfest.  Sebastian was the first Squeak user at the Toronto District School Board about 5 years ago.  Projects his kids accomplished are posted at www.squeakland.org. 

Best, Sheine
