SPRINGFIELD, Vt. -
We feature Vermont writers on our morning show every week -- but this week, we met some budding authors who are chasing the literary dream early.
Students at Union Street Elementary in Springfield, Vermont wrote, illustrated, and sent books off to the printer. Some 200 fourth and fifth grade students wrote their own books, while four third-grade classes worked together to create books.
Two of the students -- Owen Parillo and Bailey Beebe -- told us on the Channel 3 News Wednesday morning the illustrations were the hardest part, and thinking up story ideas was fun.
The books will be unveiled for friends, family, and the community Thursday from 4:30 to 5:30 at the school.
And for students, this was just a warm-up for their all-day read-a-thon on Friday to raise money for their school.

great job
ReplyDeleteWell I guess the district can do more with less budget..Speaking of which haven't seen much on that subject. Seems the district is really trying to build public opinion with these types of public displays. It still doesn't change the issues that plague the schools ..LIKE Dr. Perotti's leadership.
ReplyDeleteBut GOOD JOB to the kids in the segment!
