Let’s hear it for our young writers! ✏️📚 Sharing a Classroom Grants story from Mrs. Stettler at Shadow Valley Elementary today, where students are building confidence as readers and writers and love to express themselves through both writing and art. As part of their new Language Arts program, Mrs. Stettler wanted to capture her students’ enthusiasm and help strengthen their writing skills by turning their stories into actual books, giving them the chance to see themselves as real authors. With support from the Classroom Grants Program, the book-making materials soon made its way into the classroom. Now, students are watching their ideas come to life as they proudly build writing portfolios of their own work. And who knows? Some of these books may just be future bestsellers in the making!

"Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful donations to our classroom," said Mrs. Stettler. "When the students saw all of the brand new materials they would be able to use, they were beyond excited and immediately wanted to start on their writing projects. Their writing has improved so much because they are motivated to see their final published product come to life. Having access to these materials has made writing more meaningful and engaging for every student."
