Patrick Picklebottom Writing Content (K-5)

This week we concluded the author writing contest for the next Patrick Picklebottom book two series.  The professional author asked our students to write one of his next chapters in his book.  We had 13 students submit their own mystery to the author for his review and selection.  Our students' work was filled with excitement, clues, and a great hunt to solve the mystery!  We are so proud of our young authors!  We look forward to hearing from the author on his selection!  Thank you to all staff who assisted our students in this process. 

Kudos for the mystery submissions from the following students:
