The 5th graders were treated to an in-person visit last week by author/illustrator Stephen T Johnson, who was in town to present at the Kansas Book Festival that was held on Sept. 16 on the Washburn University campus. He is the creator of well-known children's books, and his artwork can be found in permanent and private collections. He currently is a professor at the University of Kansas and lives in Lawrence.
Mr. Johnson shared details about his childhood that influenced him later in his career as an author/illustrator. He also told the students that many of his ideas come from observing real things and not just from his imagination. He emphasized the need for patience and persistence in his career.
Students were encouraged to ask questions during Mr. Johnson's presentation.
Thank you, Mr. Johnson, for taking the time to make a difference, and thank you, Kansas Book Festival, for partnering with us to bring this wonderful opportunity to our students!

Message from the PTA:
Parents,
Our Fun Run is tomorrow, Thursday, September 21. This will take place during your child’s PE/Music time. I have attached the times if you or someone in your family would like to come cheer, walk or run with your child.
If you would like to come we ask that you park in the west parking lot and walk around to the back of the building. We will be on the black top by the playground. Look for the cones. There is no need to go through the office.
We cannot thank you all enough for all the support during this fundraiser. If you would like to donate you still can. If you’d rather bring in cash or check (Made out to the Wanamaker PTA) we will take that too.
