In celebration of Read Across America week, our students had the opportunity to learn about how to craft a story from renowned author of The Lemonade Wars, Jacqueline Davies. Students learned that reading and writing go hand in hand: writing helps us as readers, and reading helps us as writers. To apply this, each student was gifted a blank journal and encouraged to write a story of their own. Winners in each grade were selected and celebrated with a performance by local singer, songwriter, and entertainer, Mamasteph. Superintendent Sullivan joined the festivities and presented our award winning authors with a special recognition.

Her performances at area libraries, preschools, daycare centers, and private functions are enjoyable and enlightening for both audiences and the performer.
