PC and Taylor Swift

On Wednesday , October 24 , PC registered for & viewed a Live Webcast of Taylor Swift promoting her Read Every Day campaign. she was at a school in New York City. The Web Cast took place in the library and lasted for 35 minutes.  Taylor Swift answered questions from students in schools from different continents. She spoke about how important reading was and still is to her because reading takes her away on adventures and also is an outlet to express problems . She explained how she gets ideas for all the songs she writes & sings  from real life experiences. She said that when she was younger , she was bullied in junior high  & couldn't wait to take refuge in a new book, play her guitar, sing  or write in her journal .  Taylor Swift is an inspiration to our students who attended the Web Cast which was set up through Ms. Devlin's association with Scholastic & with the expertise of Mr. Liddle who made sure that we had  enough internet bandwidth to stream the live video webcast through our PC computer. After the Q&A was over, Taylor sang  a song from her new CD titled Red.  It was a worthwhile educational , inspirational & entertaining event. Thanks to Ms. Macaluso who gave her approval for this new experience to take place.
