Parents as Writing Partners at Heritage Elementary

On Friday, May 27th, students and parents of Mrs. Saddler's 5th grade class participated in an all-day, outdoor writing marathon. Both parent and child grabbed a notebook and pen and set off on a writing adventure together. The marathon trail guide consisted of writing stops including: narrative, poetry, sketching, storytelling, and sharing.  The weather cooperated for an extraordinary day of writing relaxation finding shade and inspiration under the trees on the grounds of the Franklin Regional school campus. Among the many parent comments shared was this one, "Today is a day, I'll never forget. It was such an amazing experience to spend the day writing with my child."
