Crestline Elementary held its annual Celebrate Writing day on Feb. 22.
Authors and illustrators from all over the country spent the day at the school talking with students about their writing careers. Students in each grade had been studying these authors and reading their books for several weeks prior to the event.
Each student also created an art piece related to one of the authors. Celebrate Writing is entirely funded by the Crestline PTO through the fundraisers such as Fall Festival. Parents were invited to attend the event, and A Bunch of Guys from the high school entertained students throughout the day.
