Author's Tea
Each
spring just before school it out the elementary students display and share
their best pieces of writing to each other and their parent s and friends at
the annual author's tea. This year it
will take place throughout the day on Monday, May 16th. When the time draws near I'm sure your
child's teacher will let you know of their scheduled time to be in the Wiley
Gym or HES library to share their work but you can also drop in at what ever
time is best for you. You'll be amazed
at the wide variety of creative writing our students produce.
