Calling All Carolina Bloggers…

SC Meet-Up Poster

I am so ridiculously excited to announce that we are planning a big ol’ Carolina meet-up…y’all! ;) And no…not just for bloggers…stalkers other teacher friends are welcome to join! :) We are planning on meeting at some delicious restaurant where we can gab for a few hours about all things school! Poor people won’t know what hit them! I better call ahead! ;) I can’t wait to meet everyone!! I have been to several meet-ups and they are always way too much fun and NEVER enough time! I am sure that this meet-up won’t let me down!

So, If you will be in the Columbia area on September 15, I would love to see you there! I know this is still 2 months away, and we are still in the beginning stages of planning, but I wanted to give you PA-LENTY of time to put it on your calendar! Time and location will be announced once we have a general idea of how many people to expect.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED…

Please leave a comment in the comment section of my blog below. Make sure that you include your name and an email address where you can be contacted!

Is it bad that I am already excited?!? Love my blogging/blog stalker buddies! :)

  14. Oh my goodness! I am beyond excited about this meet-up! Even though I just recently joined the real teacher blog world, I have been "teacher blog stalking" for over year while I had my college teaching blog, "Adventures of a Future Teacher". Now that I am officially a teacher, I am excited to be an active part of the teacher blog world. I live in Winston Salem, NC.. so about 2 hours. I would love to come to Columbia for the meet up and get to meet all the wonderful teachers out there!

    Count me in!

  47. I have totally been wanting to do a blogger meet-up forever! I been following a bunch of blogs for a long time and only recently started my own. I was so excited and then checked my calendar :-( I have a Brad Paisley concert that night. I love going to concerts but now I'm actually disappointed about it. I also missed the Georgia one in the spring because I was away on spring break. I hope everyone has a great time and that another southeast one comes together some time soon.

I will be referring your blog, as well as many others from this post for my next two articles. I'm also a teacher blogger on the side. www.teachtrainlove.com Happy to have found your page! :-)

  76. Ok so I am not a teacher from SC, but I do have family moving to the area around Charlotte...they were told Fort Mill school district is very family-oriented. There are several schools there. Is any one school better than another? Class sizes? Their child is coming from a small town in Wyoming and want to make it a smooth transition. She is an incoming 1st grader. I also teach 1st grade in Wyoming and follow many of your blogs. Do you know anyone that teaches at any of the schools there? is there a different area that might be better? His work will be in Charlotte or close by. Anything else they should know or find helpful? Thanks so much! Vegas rocks!
