Step into Stories Celebration
Cristy Burne and Sue Whiting, accomplished authors and all round great people, spent time with our students on Wednesday this week. They shared their writing journey and some valuable encouragement to be storytellers, to be problem solvers and to do hard things because it feels so great when you accomplish the task.
Please ask your students what they took away from the presentations.
