We are thrilled to announce that the talented author, Dan Gutman, paid a special virtual visit to our 3rd-grade students at Yadkinville Elementary School last week! 🌟 The atmosphere was buzzing with enthusiasm as our young readers had the incredible opportunity to meet and engage with the creative mind behind some of their favorite books.
Dan Gutman shared his passion for storytelling, sparking the imaginations of our students and encouraging them to explore the world of literature. 📖✨ From the captivating "My Weird School" series to the adventurous "Baseball Card Adventures," Mr. Gutman's storytelling magic left an indelible mark on our young minds.
A huge shoutout to Tammy Poindexter and the NC School Library Media Association for helping organizing this enriching experience for our students! 🍎👩🏫 Thank you, Dan Gutman, for inspiring a love of reading and imagination in our 3rd graders. 🌈📚
