A Blog for Substitute Teachers

We here at CWA have created a blog for substitute teachers. This blog is where you can talk about anything that deals with substitute teaching. Did you have a rough day or a great day, do you need help or assistance in any way; then go to the blog. The blog address is http://substitutebuzzon-line.blogspot.com/. If you want to contribute to the Blog, send an e-mail to sgianni1016@earthlink.net. Please mark the e-mail for CWA Blog in the subject window. Then I will review and edit it for the blog.

FYI - Today July 18, 2008, we trained two more substitute teachers to be stewards. The two new stewards are Thelma Hill and Miriam Iskandr both of San Bernardino CUSD. If you need help or want to help. let us. Contact us through the above e-mail addresses or by calling 909-422-8960 or 1-800-562-9588. Hope to hear from you soon.

Happy 4th of July 2008


The New Colossus
by Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
