Elementary 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.
