Editor Melissa Howes-Vitek of FiND iT Frederick interviewed me for a profile in the magazine's Fall 2013 issue. I am featured as the "Faces of Frederick" personality! How cool is that? You can read all about my teaching experiences, books, and political activism with the Frederick County Teachers Association in the latest issue. Also, there are a bunch of pictures of two awesome former students of mine, Maria and Courtney, from the 2012-2013 school year! The magazine is totally free and can be found all over Frederick County. The profile starts on page 26. Check it out »

Each year r/RedditGifts solicits classroom teachers to create a Wish List through Amazon.com. The goal here is to put together a moderate selection of much-needed classroom materials so that Reddit users can donate supplies to schools across the world. Here is a brief excerpt from their site:

"Reddit gifts for the teachers is our annual program where teachers sign up who are in need of supplies for their classrooms, and nice people sign up to send them some supplies! There is no minimum or suggested value of these gifts, they can be as simple as some pencils or glue sticks - anything makes a difference and we need your help! Last year, participants from around the world sent almost $150,000 worth of supplies for teachers as the new school year started."

I’ll be attending the Small Press Expo on September 14 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center. I’ll be roving the convention floor getting sketches and comics. Follow me on Twitter at @AdamUmak and the convention at @SPXComics and #spx.
