Tumwater Hill Elementary School Visit

 Here's what Kim Howard wrote about my visit in the district newsletter

SCOTTISH AUTHOR, KATHLEEN PELLEY PRESENTED AT TUMWATER HILL ELEMENTARY THIS WEEK
On Tuesday I visited Tumwater Hill Elementary to see children’s author Kathleen Pelley deliver a magical presentation to fourth graders.  Organized by THE teacher Kim McCloud, who applied for a Fulbright alumni scholar grant, Kathleen spent two days presenting to many classes at the school.  In one hour she shared inspirations from her childhood in Scotland, the value of writing, whether or not you become a writer, the 5 inspirations of writing, and positive and encouraging life lessons and philosophy, as well as a few key Latin words.  What a treat!  The students were very engaged and asked lots of great questions.
