Folksinger Edie Carey '88 returns to DCD
 Colorado-based Boston native and DCD alumna Edie Carey '88, a singer-songwriter known for her unmistakable, soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, and her warm, engaging presence, will be working with students and performing at DCD from 2:20 to 2:50 p.m. in the Lowell Center on Monday, February 25. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Carey's wry and often self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend.

Sharon Draper's newest book is Blended (Atheneum), and I highly recommend it for readers in grades 5 and higher. Eleven-year-old Isabella is a gifted pianist who is struggling with her parents' divorce. ...
