LEE EDWARD FODI......The CHRONICLES OF KENDRA KANDLESTAR
A big thank you to the Fraser Wood Elementary PAC for generously providing the funds for the author and illustrator Lee Edward Fodi to visit our school on April 21. All the students from Kindergarten through Grade Seven were able to participate in this event. Mr. Fodi shared how readers can get inspiration from everyday experiences and involved the students in an interactive drawing activity. I would also like to thank Mr. Fodi for being a great presenter. The students and staff enjoyed every minute of the visit!
The students at Fraser Wood would like to say, "Thank you for funding the author visit!"
Please stop by the PAC Board in the front hallway by the office to see the Thank You card made and signed by the students at Fraser Wood.
