| Katy Kelly
Visits |
On February 2, ASFS hosted a visit from Katy Kelly, author
of the popular Lucy Rose books. Ms. Kelly read from her first book, Lucy
Rose: Here's The Thing about Me, and answered questions from students.
Students and staff alike thoroughly enjoyed her visit and are eager to
read more of her books. Many thanks to Heidi Daniels, ASFS parent and long-time
friend of Ms. Kelly's, who made her visit possible.

| On Thursday, December 1,
author Betsy Maestro and her husband, illustrator Giulio Maestro visited
with students and staff at ASFS. They shared their research, writing,
and illustrating processes with them and gave students the opportunity
to ask questions both during their presentations and afterward in writing.
Students came to realize how many steps there are to creating a book
and that, above all
else, it is indeed practice that makes perfect. |
