Guest Author Visits Jefferson

Students at assembly

Jefferson Elementary students learned all about writing and telling stories Tuesday during an author visit from James Preller!

Speaking to groups of students throughout the day, Mr. Preller shared his love for writing stories and encouraged students to share theirs. He thanked the PTO and Jefferson teachers for welcoming him to the school.

“I’m not here because they think I’m great. They think YOU are great. And we believe you have stories that only you can tell,” Mr. Preller told students.

Sharing stories with students, the guest author explained where his ideas came from and how he developed storylines. He answered questions and gave students small suggestions on how they could write their own ideas and experiences.

Thank you Mr. Preller for inspiring our students and the PTO for sponsoring the author visit!
