On Friday, Nov. 8th, our 4th and 5th graders were visited by author Marika McCoola as part of the Newton-wide CAS AuthorFest.  She talked to the students about the process of writing, how graphic novels are made, story arcs, page turns, and retelling folk tales — ask your 4th or 5th grader about what they learned!

Marika’s book, Baba Yaga’s Assistant, is available at Newtonville Books; you can order them by calling 617-244-6619, and part of the proceeds will go towards supporting CAS programs in Newton.

Thank you to Natalie Hereford and the rest of our Creative Arts and Sciences team for bringing us great programs like this, and thank you all for supporting our school to make it possible!
