We had the pleasure of speaking at Solomon Schechter Day School on Long Island last week. We want to thank them so much for having us. We read some of our own stories, "Laugh At Them" by Sara McDermott and "The Walk" by Melissa McDermott. Other selections included "The Wall" by Katherine Mansfield and "Instant Message" by Jessica Jenkins. Both women wrote these selections while they were high school students, and we encourage all students to send us their own memoir of meanness.
Our very first reading took place at another school on Long Island, Lawrence Woodmere Academy. (It was the day before Halloween and the costumes were awesome!) We so appreciate having had this opportunity. We had a wonderful audience and we really enjoyed speaking at both schools.
Special thanks to Mrs. Tintweiss for inviting us. We cannot express our gratitude enough. Thanks to the students, too, for participating in our candid discussions about meanness and bullying.
