We were very excited to have author Wendy Mass come to LCCS this week to visit with students in grades 3-8. She's the author of 18 books including the award-winning "A Mango-Shaped Space," and "Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life," which was made into a movie in 2012.
Wendy talked to students about how she re-wrote "Mango" 21 times and how it was rejected 50 times by different publishers before she was successful.  (Photo: Wendy showing off a reel of all her rejection letters.)
Wendy had lunch with some of our Read-A-Thon winners, and she also gave a writer's workshop to a group of 7th graders. They did a character outline, closed their eyes to imagine the setting of their story, (photo) and wrote a quick paragraph telling their tale.
