Books with Bradford: Recent Episodes
Rachel Bradford
My guests this time were our five senior volleyball players. I was so excited to have some students on to talk about all things books...and some other things, too. We got the chance to talk about everything from sports to their future plans, and I loved having them take me back down memory lane. Be on the lookout for our Lady Chaps as their make their playoff run. We are so excited for you and proud of you!
Welcome to the special Halloween edition of Books with Bradford! My guests for this episode are Mr. Edgar Jackson (AHS Speech teacher and UIL Coordinator and AcaDec Coach) and Mrs. Tasha Bass (AHS Math teacher and UIL Math Coach). We were excited to talk about reading from a different perspective (not somebody with an English degree) and, of course, spooky and scary stories. So dress up like your favorite super hero or dinosaur and enjoy this spooky episode with some scary book suggestions.
In honor of homecoming, I had the opportunity to interview some of my former students. Grayson (class of 2018), Jacan, Gabe, and Amos (class of 2019) stopped by earlier for pizza and some book chatting. Lauren and Rachael (class of 2019) stopped by later for pizza, and, you guessed it, books! They were so great to stop by and chat with me! ❤️📚
