Lester Laminack Day was a huge success

On Tuesday Dec. 18th 2007 (Here by known a
s Lester Laminack Day) the students of S. Ellen Jones had the opportunity of a lifetime. They got to meet the famed children's author Lester L. Laminack. He visited the school and read selections of his books to the classrooms. He then gave pointers on how to be a better writer. For the Christmas craft this year, each child got to create their very own t-shirt design in honor of the visit. Each class picked an image from one of Mr. Laminack's books and hand outlined and colored it on the shirts. I can tell you that he was very impressed. He even joked that he was going to brag to his sister about having his very own day. After the reading, each student got to sit down to their very own teacakes and tea in the cafeteria. If you are unsure what teacakes are, (I was) you should read the authors most popular book to date: Saturdays and Teacakes.
