GATOR BYTE - VOLUME 24 - FEBRUARY 26, 2023

We hope everyone had a great week back after break! We have lots in store between now and Spring Break (6 weeks away, but who's counting?!?) and we don't want you to miss a thing!

WEEK IN REVIEW
Janae Marks Author Visit

Our 3rd to 5th graders enjoyed meeting critically acclaimed author Janae Marks on Thursday, February 23.  

She spoke about how she decided to become an author and the journey it took to reach that goal. It took her many years and many drafts to get her first book published. She also shared how the cover of From the Desk of Zoe Washington was created.

A key message that the students took away was that the road to success can take many twists and turns, but success is possible with perseverance!

Kids got a chance to ask questions and there were lots!
