Author visits McElwain to give students a "Fresh Start"
- Engage
- Focus on Students
This month, McElwain Elementary was visited by a special guest that spoke to the students! Gale Galligan, author of "Fresh Start", came to talk to students about her book and the importance of friendship and belonging. She also passed out personalized signed books to 3rd through 5th-grade students.
"Fresh Start" is a funny and vibrant graphic novel that follows the life of Ollie Herisson and her family as they move around a lot. Every move comes with a new school, new challenges and new friends.
Special thanks to the McElwain Elementary community for submitting this Five Star Story.
This story exemplifies our ELEVATE Focus Area: Diverse Learning. Sharing stories of how students receive engaging learning experiences and the focused-attention they need through appropriate student-to-staff ratios and varied programming.
