Fifth graders in Mrs. Leonard's class have been reading @kaaauthor’s “Home of the Brave,” and were excited to hear about her visit!
When they learned that there wasn't enough room for 5th graders at the assembly, they took matters into their own hands! The students wrote a persuasive letter to Ms. Applegate and delivered it to her personally upon her arrival at school. Their initiative and persuasive writing skills impressed everyone, and it was a great example of students using their voice to make a difference.
The best part is... it worked! Ms. Applegate paid a special visit to their classroom.
Who was more excited, the teachers or the students? Debatable...
Photographed with Ms. Applegate are 5th grade teachers Mrs. Leonard and Dr. Felix!
The Eagle’s Nest annual fall field trip to the pumpkin patch is always a memorable one! 🎃

In collaboration with Pages Bookstore, we were thrilled to host New York Times bestselling authors Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko for a special assembly!

It was an engaging and memorable experience for all who attended!
