@BrianGehrlein @tombabylon Oops, sorry! Here he is, in all his Dennis-y glory!

@VOECP_Library @tombabylon So glad to hear that! Can you re-add the photo? I can’t see it for some reason.

Today we read The Book of Rules by @BrianGehrlein and @tombabylon and my students LOVED it! Fortunately Dennis didn’t eat any of them (IYKYK). One budding artist drew this adorable (er, I mean very scary) picture of Dennis. You’d better follow the rules or he’ll eat you! pic.twitter.com/zSsIbxhon8

So proud of our @overton_elem scholars who were chosen to represent our school for @AustinISD’s Youth Art Month exhibition! 🎨🖌️🖼️ @AISDArts @AISDvisual
