Contemplating the Return of Chef Reid Moore

At the beginning of this school year, Chef Reid Moore attended the grand opening of the Giddy-Up Grill in our school's library. His job was to motivate the students to "read more", and encourage them to sample all kinds of delicious books in the library. Check out the visuals:

He was enthusiastic, energetic, and ready to kick off a fun-filled year of learning in the library. The students were delighted to have such a big-time celebrity in their midst!

He worked hard to introduce all things library to the kids--everything from library procedures and expectations to exciting events planned for the year. He gave countless tours of the library Giddy-Up Grill, endured pokes, tugs, and a few snide remarks about wearing "girl" shoes from some of the students.

Needless to say, by the end of library orientation week Chef Reid Moore had to really work to maintain a high energy level. He was tired. This picture says it all:

He hasn't been seen since. 

That's right, Chef Reid Moore is MIA. Not that the students haven't asked where he is and when he'll be back--they'd like to see him again, certainly. But is he up for another week-long visit at my elementary school? I sure hope so, because we're hitting the home-stretch of this school year. Not much time left, and his visit must not coincide with testing week, book fair week, or TLA's Annual Conference in April. 

So, if anybody has a great idea on how to convince Chef Reid Moore to come back, let me know. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying my Spring Break by working less and reading more!
