0513: OLS Author Day
First graders Albert Buescher, Alexander Delgado, Riley Newsome, Maria Hare and William Lewis make snow as one of the many activities during the school’s Fifth Annual Ultimate Author Day. This year’s event had a weather theme.
The forecast for students at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic (OLS) School was bright and sunny in April as they travelled the halls to learn about various forms of language expression. As a part of the school‘s Fifth Annual Ultimate Author Day (UAD), students celebrated the gift of writing with numerous professionals who visited the school.
Children attended breakout sessions including workshops, sharing sessions, special performances, and literature-based activities presented by professionals and volunteers.
Throughout the school year, all students wrote and created original books or another form of written medium. On UAD, the students’ completed work was on display in the OLS Family Life Center Assembly Hall as a part of the day’s events.
“This was our fifth anniversary for Ultimate Author Day, and we are so proud our students,” said Mary Jane Dorn, OLS principal. “It’s amazing to see how confident these students are about writing now, because they have accomplished something that most people only dream about doing. For some, this was their fifth book, and they believe in themselves to be true authors.”
