During that time an author Every This night has taken place many time before but the HES PTO hopes to continue on the annual event. Nancy Carlson came to visit the kids and later that evening families and students were treated to a meal and fun activities.
Nancy Carlson is known for writing children books and her cartoon doodles and was raised in Minnesota. She went to the elementary school and spoke to the students about drawing her well known dog doodles and she talked about her childhood. Carlson also read and signed books for the classes. Later that evening Family Literacy Night took place, all families Pre-K through 6th grade were invited and treated to a delicious meal form the HES PTO. After the meal the families could roam the halls and search for fun literacy events they were interested in partaking. One of the activities was making your own story, the student or person would roll the dice and the dice would give the setting, in this case the monster, and the conflict; then the student or family member made up their own story with the given subjects. “When she explained how the colors made up the character’s emotions in the book I found it interesting, like when the page’s theme color is blue it means the character is upset or sad about something. I liked hearing about her books and I want to read more of them” says Abby Cessna. Many different organizations and businesses helped and/or donated certain objects to the HES PTO to use during the eventful night. Teachers volunteered to help with the literacy events, 7th and 8th graders also went to the Literacy Night to give their time to help with the events and PTO serve the meal. Thank you to all that made this a successful event...HES and FES PTO, Comm. Ed., Grand, Cinema, Lion's Club, Ausmus Carpet, Daggetts, and Tobies.
