Vernfield News
Vernfield students were mesmerized on October 19th as the author Daniel Jude Miller shared his passion for illustrating and writing books.
Mr. Miller’s entertaining stories, ability to connect with the audience and valuable advice on how to become an author kept the students on the edge of their seats. In addition, all students received an autographed poster and an order form to purchase books.
Thank you, Home and School Association, for funding this amazing event!
