Lewis School students’ writings are published
Students at Henrietta G. Lewis Campus School wrote and illustrated books that were then published in hard cover.
“Kids learned the power of the word and that they can make words into stories,” said Judy VanNostrand, literacy specialist at Lewis School. “They get to take ownership.”
After the books were published, the students, K-12, were treated to a book party in their honor with pastries and juice. During the party, some students choose to read their books aloud.
“Kids love when we do this,” said VanNostrand.
Students are given this opportunity twice a year.
