We loved welcoming author Liesl Shurtliff to Groton Elementary!
✨ During her visit, students:
• Learned about the tales behind fairy tales
• Took part in fun “Mind Benders”
• Met with contest winners
• Had books signed
• Wrapped up the day with our after-school Book Club talking about fractured fairy tales
🎩 Families, don’t forget:
• An Evening of Magic is coming up this week
• David Black will be at Groton Elementary
• Wednesday, March 18
• 6:00–7:00 PM
• Sign-in begins at 5:30 PM
📖 Signed book orders are still open through midnight on March 17 and will be sent back to school after they are signed by the author.
❤️ A big thank you to the Groton Elementary School PTO for helping fund part of this author visit, along with our 21st Century Grant.
👏 We also want to thank Julie Camp, our school’s Instructional Coach and ELA Department Chair, for planning this special visit. We truly appreciate all of her hard work and effort.
🍎 Thank you as well to our Groton Elementary staff for encouraging families to be part of our One School, One Book program and for helping build excitement around reading.
