The Puxi Campus, Library and Cafeteria

Welcome to SAS Puxi
On Sunday March 8 we braved the traffic and moved to the Puxi campus of the SAS.

Number 1 and 3

Campus

Caffeteria
SAS Pudong Library and Cafeteria

Elementary School Library
The children at this campus have an elementary school library and a middle-high school library. Books, of course, computers, meeting and readings rooms and all the technology you could ever want to help you learn or prepare a dazzling report or presentation.

The cafeteria has a coffee shop, and 7 different food stations. I wish I was in school again, at least for lunch

Double Latte and a bagel

Pat, the Middle School Librarian was my warm supportive guardian at the Pudong Campus.

The Visiting Authors
In addition to me there were 3 other authors, Sheree Fitch, Ralph Fletcher and Chris Crutcher.
Sheree Fitch is a perky perky mocha chocolate dragon dragon laugh alot alot.
Ralph Fletcher is a quiet scholarly message kind of guy.
Chris Crutcher is an athletic, say it like it is, thai food kind of guy.
We blended, bonded, laughed, listened, manged and melded together for 2 weeks
What a treat

Noses

The Administration Knows Noses
What a Welcome
At 6:55 AM we all piled into a school van and set out through bustling traffic to the Shanghai American School. The traffic reminded me of New York with cars, taxis, motorbikes, and bikes jocking for position. No driver seems to look they just go. It was a religious experience. When we arrived at the school this is what greeted us.

Welcome To SAS Pudong

Pat and me
The school was amazing and the kids were wonderful. All the teachers were welcoming and friendly. Pat , the middle school librarian stayed with me the whole day and was kind, supportive and very helpful.
